Establishment
Grŵp Llandrillo Menai was founded on 2 April 2012 by the corporate merger of Coleg Menai with the legal entity then known as Coleg Llandrillo Cymru (which had already subsumed Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor in 2010).[3]
Of those, the three principal campuses—that both cover a large area with multiple buildings and act as the headquarters of a constituent college—are, in descending order of size:
Llandudno Road, Rhos-on-Sea (Coleg Llandrillo)
Friddoedd Road, Bangor (Coleg Menai)
Ty'n y Coed Road, Dolgellau (Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor)[4]
