Basford Hall campus to get £27million redevelopment

New College Nottingham is to rebuild its Basford Hall campus in a £27million project.

The announcement comes following a £9million investment from the Skills Funding Agency, which will see the current building demolished and redeveloped.

It is set to become a regional hub for training in construction, science, technology and sustainable technologies.

Formal plans are to be submitted to Nottingham City Council’s planning committee early next year, with the aim of opening the new campus in September 2015.

Students currently studying on the Basford campus will continue to do so, as the new development will be built around the existing buildings.

A new Sustainable Construction Centre will be constructed at the same time, on the site of the old Red Lion pub near the A610 Nuthall Road.
