Nelson and Colne College is situated at the gateway to the picturesque village of Barrowford, in the shadow of iconic Pendle Hill.
Founded during the reorganisation of education in Pendle in the early 1970s, Nelson and Colne College was created by a merger of a number of local sixth forms. Since then the College has grown in size, currently serving the educational needs of around 1700 full-time students and 4-5000 part-time students, depending on the time of year.
The contract was won at competitive tender and comprised the following works:
– Refurbishment of the 2 storey science block including a high tech laboratory
– Demolish & refurbish part of current student services facility and create a new cyber space area
– Form a new link between the Pendle and Whitemoor buildings
– Refurbish changing rooms in Deerstone building and form a small communal area
The project is being built to BREEAM ‘Very Good’ standard and the site has received a ‘Performance Beyond Compliance’ certificate from the Considerate Constructors Scheme.
