The Estate and Campus Development
The College estate provides a memorable backdrop in which to discover and develop potential. Several of the original, neo-Gothic buildings were constructed in the mid to late 19th century and have been attributed to the prolific architect Sir George Gilbert Scott. These timeless buildings have been complemented over the years by the construction and acquisition of new, contemporary facilities that continue to provide an intrinsic part of the pupils’ learning experience. The College currently boasts some truly impressive facilities with recent projects including the construction of a double sized sports hall and 25 metre indoor pool, a tennis centre with three indoor courts, six outdoor day courts, a superb 9-hole golf course and the installation of two floodlit astroturf pitches. Other projects have included the development of the Blackburn Science Centre, the expansion of the main Dining Hall and the ongoing extension and upgrade of the College’s 12 boarding houses.
