Cumbernauld College
Campus development
In August 2006 Cumbernauld College completed an extensive phased refurbishment and new build programme at the main Campus.
A new 2,250m2, three story teaching block provides additional fully equipped teaching facilities and specialist rooms for health care, travel and tourism and art and an impressive business suite offers the wider business community extensive training and conference facilities.
A new front entrance, reception and 495m2 internal ‘street’ connects all buildings and provides improved access to student services and support, learning centres, library facilities and social areas as well as a dynamic space for exhibitions, promotion and student activity.
The refurbishment included a window replacement scheme, renewal of lighting and heating systems and an internal space reconfiguration.
Within the funding package, Cumbernauld College also purchased a 970m2 modern purpose built canal side building in Kirkintilloch to develop activities and FE provision in East Dunbartonshire.
The phased development programme commenced in November 2004 at a cost of £11.6 million, with SFC funding of £5.3 million and £2.8 million from the European Regional Development Fund.
