Doncaster College’s new multi-million pound
Waterfront campus opened in September 2006, giving students
access to some of the best educational facilities in the country.
The Hub, as it is known, offers a wide variety of higher and
further education courses on the superb new site.
The building, jointly funded by the College, the
Learning and Skills Council and
Doncaster Council, took
just under two years to build, employing more than 2,500 builders.
Students benefit from some of the best
educational facilities around, including a 100-seat lecture
theatre, a 200-seat drama studio and a huge two-floor Learning Resource Centre packed with IT
facilities.
Leading edge technology is at the heart of the
building - interactive whiteboards and projectors are in almost
every classroom, video clips are streamed into classrooms via a
network and plasma screens welcome students at entrances, informing
them of the latest College, national and
international news.
Students are also able to study in a very
relaxed way with comfy seating, computer zones, a media room,
laptop bars and seminar rooms making up the new, improved Learning Resource Centre.
But as well as a place to learn, the new
campus is a place to relax, too. People are able to unwind at the
Spa Treatment Centre, which includes a sauna, steam room and
Jacuzzi. They could even get a makeover at the on-site
hairdressers, beautician and nail salon. The campus is also home to
a gym sporting the very latest in
fitness equipment.
The new campus also has a range of catering options. Food is freshly produced by
the students, for the students, offering a range of foods in two
great restaurants.
The new building, which is also the
educational centre of Doncaster Education City (DEC), also includes escalators (the
only College in the country to have escalators) and lifts, making
access to learning areas easier.
DEC is one
of the most exciting education and training initiatives ever to
take place in the UK, bringing more than £60m into the town. It
links schools, training providers, further and higher education to
business and the wider community. Its visionary approach to
learning will be the catalyst for urban and social regeneration in
the borough.
The College offers a range of courses,
including degrees and professional studies. For more information on
