An innovative hub for sustainable engineering and science.
The project comprises the creation of a new facility to support the needs of the Engineering and Science-allied curriculum whilst providing an energy-efficient building in line with the College’s ambitions to reduce its carbon footprint.
Energy efficiency and sustainability
The new facility will reflect the curriculum, utilising a fabric-first design approach to deliver energy and carbon savings whilst maximizing value for money. A major emphasis of the proposed curriculum will be the development of sustainable technologies and engineering practices in response to the urgent Climate Crisis and the 2050 Net Zero target.

Facilities within the building will include an advanced engineering lab, electrical installation workshop, electric/hydrogen vehicle workshop, 3D print and prototype workshop, science labs, general teaching and ICT suite, and social/learning collaboration space.
Demolition and green space creation
As part of our works, the existing North Block 1 building and a further termporary structure will be demolished following the completion of the new facility. This will remove category C/D accommodation from the site and allow an area of green space to be created in its place, replacing anything lost through the construction of the new build development.
