Works for the CEIL for SLDD scheme will include delivering a two-storey new build with a gross internal floor area of 1,350 sqm, comprising 13 classrooms, teaching kitchen, dining area and ancillary spaces across its two levels, as well as associated external works. The CSC scheme will consist of a new build specialist centre to meet the growing need to provide training for construction skilled trades in the local area. Offering a flexible teaching and learning facility that will support the curriculum and estate objectives of the College, the 1,500 sqm building will comprise a large double height construction trades workshop, as well as additional classrooms, a smaller modern construction workshop and associated staff and support facilities. Meeting the rising demand for post-16 sector education to meet the needs of local employers, the building will be used as a critical educational tool in line with the Department for Education’s (DfE) output specification in addition to supporting the sustainability ambitions of Nottingham College towards Net Zero Carbon in operation. Carl Ara, assistant principal at Nottingham College, said: “We’re excited to be working with G F Tomlinson to bring these two new developments on our Basford campus to fruition. As a key driver of economic growth in the north of the city, we are really aware of our responsibility to provide a curriculum offer that helps support young people and adults in the city to learn and succeed in their chosen industry.”
