Harrogate College has marked a significant milestone in the development of its new £22m campus with a steel-signing ceremony.
Delivered in partnership with Caddick Construction, the event held last week highlighted the progress being made at the Hornbeam Park site, celebrating the upcoming opening of Harrogate College’s new campus.
The celebration brought staff, students, governors, and the construction team together for a tour, where future students, staff and governors signed a steel beam that will be positioned at the heart of the campus.
Danny Wild, Principal at Harrogate College, said:
“Seeing the new campus take shape is a proud moment for everyone at college.
"Our rebuilt campus will create outstanding opportunities for our students, strengthening our ability to meet current and future skills.
"Ultimately, it will go some way to supporting our commitment to delivering the high-quality learning opportunities our community deserves.”
Noah Siddal, one of the Harrogate College students who took part, said:
“Touring the new build gave us a real insight into what our future learning experience will look like.
"Signing the beam felt incredibly special - like we’re leaving our mark on the college’s future and becoming part of its history.”
This rebuild represents a major investment in Harrogate College’s future.
The new facilities will provide state-of-the-art classrooms and workshops that will equip students with the skills needed by employers across the local area and wider region.
Once complete, the campus will include a digital technology suite, a replica hospital ward, an electric vehicle workshop, and a standalone renewable energy technology centre.
Steve Ford, Regional Managing Director at Caddick Construction North East & Yorkshire, added:
“It is always incredibly rewarding to reach a major milestone in a project and see a new structure taking shape.
"What has been achieved so far is a testament to the hard work, dedication and collaboration of the entire team, as well as our strong partnership with Harrogate College and Luminate Education Group.”
The new building is set to open its doors to students later this year.
