Rebuild Projects
Sheffield City College has recently undergone a £60 million rebuild programme to create an environmentally-friendly, single-site campus. This follows the development of Hillsborough College, a purpose built learning centre which opened in 2005. The Peaks Centre site has also been extended to facilitate extra courses in partnership with local schools. The £5.5 million extension was opened to students in September 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words rebuild and/or projects:
“We must not leap to the fatalistic conclusion that we are stuck with the conceptual scheme that we grew up in. We can change it, bit by bit, plank by plank, though meanwhile there is nothing to carry us along but the evolving conceptual scheme itself. The philosopher’s task was well compared by Neurath to that of a mariner who must rebuild his ship on the open sea.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
