NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL
COLLEGE CENTRE SECURES FUNDING
Northampton College has been awarded £2.25m from SEMLEP through funding available from their Local Growth Fund skills capital investment programme. The funding enables the college to press ahead with their plans to
provide a new employer-led Advanced Construction Engineering Centre at their Booth Lane Campus. The centre will support learners to develop the skills needed for the most
up-to-date construction and engineering technologies. It has been approved for planning and work is expected to be complete by July 2019. Northampton College principal, Pat Brennan-Barrett said: “We’re
delighted SEMLEP supported our bid to build an Advanced Construction Engineering Centre. “It’s a great resource for Northamptonshire and will meet the needs of employers and students.” Judith Barker, director of
programmes and governance at SEMLEP said: “This project forecasts 600 to 700 new learners each year by 2025/26. We expect this new facility will provide high quality and a relevant training environment that meets the needs of the construction sector. “The funding approval follows a competitive

INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED AS A CENTRE FOR ADVANCED
ENGINEERING’
funding competition and detailed due-diligence and appraisal process and I’ll be working closely with the college to help them deliver this.” Cllr Tim Hadland, Northampton Borough Council cabinet member for
regeneration and enterprise, said: “Northampton continues to be internationally recognised as a centre for advanced engineering, particularly within its Enterprise Zone, supported by courses and apprenticeships provided by Northampton College. “The college has a well-established selection of courses which help
support the area’s strong industry presence, and this development will help cement the town’s place as a centre of excellence for civil engineering expertise. These skills are vital to ensure the region’s necessary infrastructure projects can be realised using local talent.”
