- description:
This Roman Catholic Sixth Form College comprised buildings ranging from Victorian (locally listed) to 1960s and 1980s blocks, many of which were inadequate from both a Disabilities Discrimination Act (DDA) and a curriculum standpoint. AD worked closely with the College to agree a solution. This included both new build and refurbishment, and was funded by the Learning and Skills Council. The scheme includes a new entrance atrium, learning resource centre, science laboratories and chapel, and was handed over in 2006.
