Bournemouth Campus Redevelopment Project
Please bear with us during a period of extensive construction works, as we look to transform our campus into a state-of-the-art learning environment.
Opening in September 2026, the Bournemouth Campus Redevelopment Project will serve a range of students from school leavers to adult learners and includes a new four-storey building and refurbishment works.
Five of the previous buildings on site are being replaced by a single, high-tech teaching facility, providing a modern environment for courses in media, digital, business, travel, hair, beauty, hospitality, catering and sport. It will also feature new amenities to support the local community, including a restaurant, gyms and a salon.
