Students will be able to develop their skills in an inspiring learning environment with new classrooms, demonstration areas, offices and associated student facilities such as a refectory.
The addition of the new building to the currently vacant site is set to be a complimentary fit with the rich engineering heritage of Huddersfield. The contemporary hi-tech design and finishing will reflect the style and character of the vicinity just off St Andrew’s Road.
Kirklees College’s vice-principal, Melanie Brooke, said: “The college can now look forward to opening the new facilities and offering students a top class learning environment. I’m very proud that Kirklees College will be a fundamental part of the engineering and motor vehicle industries in Yorkshire. We’re also pleased that our investment in this new facility will bring construction jobs into the area over the next year.”
