Unity Announces Further Exciting Development Plans

In a move designed to bring the whole campus up to the same high specifications as the recent newly-built facilities, Unity College has announced that they will be replacing rather than refurbishing their Trinity Building.

New facilities will include:-

bulletA stand-alone Chapel
bulletAn innovative Eden Project-style structure
bulletA 2000 seat Meeting Chamber
bulletA new Modern Foreign Languages Centre, Art, Design & Technology studios and a new Music School.

- all of which will have a beneficial impact on the local area as it will be open for community use.

The Avenue building of Unity College, currently used as a classroom centre will remain, but in recognition of the significant rise in Sixth Form numbers for September 2005, Unity College has put plans in place for a dedicated Sixth Form Centre in this building.

This new development reinforces Unity College’s determination and commitment to offer the very best facilities for Teaching and Learning. The educational priorities of the college will remain unaffected as this exciting development takes place. Indeed, curriculum delivery will increase during this period.

It is expected (but not confirmed) that the old buildings will be demolished during the summer holiday period.

It is understood that it would cost in excess of £50,000 to bring the buildings up to the standards required by the various regulations and would have caused a significant loss of floor space.  The architects came up with an imaginative scheme that included the features listed above, and it was decided that this was a much better option.
