The New Campus Glasgow project would cost about £300m
Plans to merge three Glasgow colleges have been approved by the Scottish government.
Ministers said educational benefits for students were at the heart of their decision to back the £300m proposals.
They said there was a "strong expectation" that there would be no compulsory redundancies as a result of merging Glasgow's Nautical, Central and Metropolitan Colleges.
The new City of Glasgow College will have up to 50,000 students.
