The project will see outdated facilities replaced with a new campus featuring a mock hospital ward, student-run hair and beauty salon, sports areas, training kitchens, restaurants, lecture hall and digital learning suites.
New amenities will support both 16-19 year-olds and adult learners, tackling local skills shortages with modern training facilities and course expansion.
Designed to be low carbon from the outset, the campus will feature PV solar panels to power operations and a high-performance building envelope to cut heating and cooling costs.
The scheme is being backed by the Government’s £1.5bn Further Education Capital Transformation Fund, with East Coast College among 16 institutions across England sharing in the investment.
Mark Dady, managing director at Kier Construction Eastern & Midlands, said: “East Coast College is a landmark project due to the scale of teaching facilities on offer. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with the college and the DfE.”
Work is due to get underway this summer. Kier previously delivered the existing Western campus buildings opposite the new site.
