Sixty-two further education colleges are to benefit from a share of more than £400 million to upgrade buildings and transform campuses. The announcement today is part of the Government’s £1.5 billion Further Education Capital Transformation Fund.
The funding will support colleges to undertake building or refurbishment projects that will improve learning environments, including the creation of dedicated teaching facilities for subjects, such as automotive, ICT, science and engineering. Some colleges will also construct new teaching spaces to replace buildings in poor condition elsewhere in town centres or on campuses.
