WelcomeWhen completed, the new college will include an automotive centre, beauty and hairdressing salons, computer suites, construction workshops, engineering laboratories, fashion and photography studios, restaurant kitchens, a sports hall and a theatre. Trainee Dental Nurses will practise in an imitation surgery, while Travel & Tourism students will train in a mock-up aircraft cabin. That's great training for the future!
The Colleges three existing campuses at Oldbury, West Bromwich and Smethwick will be brought together in one purpose-built new college. You can watch it going up now on the former car park at the junction of Spon Lane and the West Bromwich Ringway. See the work live at http://skycam.sandwell.ac.uk
The new building will be equipped with state-of-the-art digital and interactive technology. The way students learn and work with their lecturers will be transformed. Be part of it!
The new building will stand out for miles around, and will be clearly visible from the M5. "This is really important," says Scott Upton, who is a college Vice-Principal. "We need people to see that things are changing around here in a big way. So, the new college will act like a beacon, showing people that they do have opportunities to improve their prospects and become qualified for life."
