The proposed 3-storeys of the college aim to create a frontage with a strong presence to Marlowes in turn providing an important landmark reference point for the gateway between the old and the new areas of the town, creating key facades along Marlowes and Queensway which will enhance the visual character of the area.

Maximising the use of natural light and sustainable materials will help reduce the dependency on artificial energy sources. Providing an accessible, inclusive and comfortable college will enable students and staff to flourish.
