Northop Learning Centre
We are investing £2.7 million to construct a purpose built Learning Centre for the Northop Campus. The Project, funded by the Welsh Assembly Government, will be on two floors and is to include a multimedia learning centre, modern learning environments complete with the latest technology such as interactive whiteboards and a learning resource centre and support area packed with the latest learning resources to assist students based at the Northop Campus.
Extensive care has been taken to protect existing wildlife at the site due to its location at such beautiful natural location. The design of the centre has also been planned with consideration of environmental implications and energy saving efficiency. Ground source heat pumps buried beneath the building will extract heat from the ground in order to warm water to heat the building. Natural light and ventilation will be maximised with the use of sun tubes and wind catchers and the landscaping of the build is designed to support bio diversity. Once completed, the centre will achieve the BREEAM* excellent standard for the green aspects of its design. It will also be fully compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act and will provide all students with an outstanding learning facility.
