“ Creating a lasting legacy for future generations of students ...”
“
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 .

IN OCTOBER 2016 WE BURIED A TIME CAPSULE OUTSIDE THE ENTRANCE OF OUR NEW CAMPUS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO DISCOVER .
The time capsule was filled with items provided by college staff and students as well as members of the local community .
Included in the time capsule is a commemorative book called ‘ A Look Back at 2015 ’, a collaborative publication between the College ’ s Marketing Team and Social Science students .
The book reflects fashion trends , popular films , music artists and books , and celebrities of the era prior to the opening of the new campus . Also included in the book are interviews describing what it was like to be a student in 2015-16 .
Old prospectuses and Kilmarnock Standard newspapers were amongst the items placed in the time capsule , as was a price list for everyday student essentials . That will be sure to provide interesting comparisons whenever the time capsule is ultimately discovered !
