Time capsule buried
at new college campus
Ayrshire College
has buried a time
capsule outside the
main entrance of the
new Kilmarnock
Campus on Hill Street.
The time capsule was filled with
items provided by college staff
and students, as well as members
of the local community, and has
been buried at the new building
to preserve this moment in time
for future generations.
Included in the time capsule is
a commemorative book called
‘A Look Back at 2015’. This
was a collaborative publication
between the college’s
Marketing Team and Social
Science students. The book
reflects fashion trends, popular
films, music artists, books and
celebrities of the era prior to the
opening of the new campus.
Also included in the book are
student interviews describing
what it was like to be a student in
2015-16. Old prospectuses and
Kilmarnock Standard newspapers
are other items placed within the
time capsule, as was a price list
for everyday student essentials.
Heather Dunk, Principal, said
“The time capsule will preserve
important memories spanning
the time period that the
Kilmarnock Campus was built.
Our students were keen to give
future generations an insight into
what life as a student was like in
2015/16.”
