Campus developments
New Town Centre Campus
We have plans to open a new 13,100 sqm development in Bridgend town Centre.
Sustainable Garden, Pencoed Campus
As part of our extensive development programme at our Pencoed Campus which included the opening of our £30m STEAM Academy in September 2021, the central area of the campus will be transformed into a multi-use plaza. This will include sensory gardens, a rain garden plus and an outdoor eating area covered by a sedum green roof. The focal point will be an amphitheatre which will allow outdoor teaching and events to take place under cover.
Low Carbon Demonstration House, Pencoed Campus
We have secured Welsh Government Net Zero Carbon Maintenance and Equipment Funding to convert a 3-bedroom domestic property at our Pencoed Campus into a low carbon demonstration house.
The house will be a teaching facility for our students which will allow them to see sustainability brought to life in a practical setting, whilst inspiring others about low carbon opportunities. The house will also be utilised by our students with additional learning needs, to allow them to develop important independence skills within a home setting.
We have been working in conjunction with the Low Carbon Built Environment (LCBE) team at the Welsh School of Architecture in Cardiff University to benefit from their expertise in retrofitting houses.
