Located in the historic Parkinson Building, the centre is undergoing significant redevelopment, predominantly on Levels 2 and 3, creating new state-of-the-art teaching facilities.

Students and colleagues will benefit from refurbished common and pastoral areas to provide a modern, attractive learning environment. There will also be a new reception/student support area and improved signage throughout. 

Classroom spaces will feature audio-visual equipment to enhance the learning experience, while sector-leading, innovative spaces will allow for collaborative teaching methods facilitated with the latest technology. 

Other features include:

  • new breakout areas and private seating booths for group or individual study
  • additional meeting and consultation rooms for one-to-one or group study sessions
  • new facilities for colleagues, including kitchen areas and breakout space; and
  • improved lighting and ventilation to provide a more comfortable and energy-efficient environment.

The project is scheduled to be completed this autumn.
