17 AUTUMN 2015 Building Community Capacity New Campus Countdown AT THE END OF AUGUST, WE HOSTED A SPECIAL CEREMONY TO CELEBRATE THE PROGRESSION OF THE NEW KILMARNOCK CAMPUS The campus has been progressing at a steady rate since work began in June 2014 and will be ready for students in September 2016. Each month for the next twelve months, new facilities for a different vocational area will be revealed on the website, giving current and prospective students the chance to see how their area will be enhanced by the move to the new site. First up for October was Construction. Watch flythrough here... Principal, Heather Dunk said of the new campus “This project was a dream in 2008 and over time we persuaded lots of people to support a new campus for the College. Supported by investment from the Scottish Government of £53 million, the project has moved from design to construction in just two years. “Twelve months from now we’ll be welcoming thousands of students to this fabulous new campus. The building project has already created opportunities for students, including apprenticeships and work placements.” Read our New Campus Newsletter here...
