The overarching concept was to provide a vibrant campus and modern learning environment, whilst acknowledging the conserving the sites history.

The new campus environment provides the setting for the existing and new buildings, showcasing the synergy between old and new through a number of key spaces namely: The Avenue, The College Lawn and College Gardens.

The use of bold shapes and forms are reflected within the planting and paving design to enforce this arrangement. The new campus offers a new urban environment for students, staff and visitors to meet and relax with break out spaces linked to study areas in the main buildings.

The new landscape of the buildings continues to receive plaudits from the many who visit the campus.
