ԭ work starts this month and is scheduled to complete in July 2013.
Intended to achieve a BREEAM ‘excellent’ rating, the development will have photovoltaic solar panels on the roof, ground-source heat pumps and heat recovery from the room ventilation system. This will play a part in the college’s plan to reduce its carbon footprint.
