About the campus
The teamresponsible for the estatesmaster planhave beenworkinghard over the last fewmonths and things are really coming together. Ambitious plans to capitalise on the governments T-Level and Further Education capital funding announcedby the Chancellor in the Autumn aremoving forward at Yeovil College. We have recently completed phase one, with over £2.2M already spent transforming 20 spaces in our campus to deliver sector leading provision in Engineering and Technology, Health, Computing Sciences and Creative Industries. Much needed technical education and training for the workforce in these sectors is now significantly enhanced with more than £1.7M in new state-of-the-art equipment providing apprentices and learners with training experiences to enhance their knowledge and skills, adding value to their CVs and in the businesses they work in. We have now completed phase two of our campus redevelopment plans, having worked closely with our scientists, health, social care and education colleagues to plan our new Health, Education and Science Centre. We gained a further £2.3m investment to transform the Ashdown Building into an incredible Health, Education and Science Centre, with four new ultra-modern specialist science laboratories, hospital ward, community health skills suite, dental nursing training lab, nursing and primary education simulation spaces, plus incredible flexible learning resource centre. It offers students unrivalled facilities to build their knowledge and skills right up to degree level in these industries. This sector leading facility was made possible by co-investment from the government with £1.15M of T-Level funding. To ensure that the health, science and education professionals in our region have the skills, knowledge and understanding to build successful careers, learning in environments that provide the very latest technology and equipment, we added a further £1.2m to transform the spaces. These facilities now welcome T-Level learners who are motivated by incredible surroundings and inspired by brilliant teaching.
