College Facilities
The college has recently undergone a major building programme costing over £15 million. The first project was the Prospect Theatre and performing arts suite, which was opened by Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex in 2000. The latest building, the Dame Kelly Holmes Sports Centre, was officially opened on 25 April 2007 by the double Olympic gold medallist. The developments have also seen the construction of a brand new quad built in the centre of the college, and fairly recently, the Whitehouse Building which boasts an e-Assessment Centre - an IT centre for students to use. The latest phase is a new physics and arts block to replace the existing 1960s Scola block. Planning permission has been granted and the project designed by architects Broadway Malyan has commenced. The college has three cafeterias and two large fields which are used for sports and recreational purposes.
