We are delighted to announce our appointment to transform both Cornwall College and Yeovil College in the South West, combining our masterplanning, architecture, landscape design services to create refreshed and inspired learning environments that are fit for the future.
Cornwall College and Yeovil College are just two of 16 colleges in England to receive the significant £1.5bn capital investment delivered through the FE Capital Programme, which aspires to transform college estates to meet the needs of the 21st century student.
Both campuses are to be designed and developed in line with the DFE’s (Department for Education) sustainability principles over the next four years and will set a significant benchmark for sustainable design on our pathway to meet 2050’s Net Zero Carbon requirement.
