Croydon College

Croydon College’s vision is to strengthen its position as a 21st century learning provider, creating a focal point for the community.

Phase 1 of the College masterplan involved the design of a Hair & Beauty salon, Hospitality and Catering facilities and a new college entrance. These vocational facilities are benchmarked against industry standards, giving students the opportunity to learn in ‘simulated’ work environments. As part of the college refurbishment, phase 2 saw the design of a new engineering department for Croydon College to support the College’s varied curriculum.

In February 2007, planning consent was achieved for a new mixed use, 30 storey vocational tower with 10 levels of educational use and 18 levels of residential development.

Phase 3 of the development creates a state-of-the-art 5 storey rotunda, housing a learning resource centre, performing arts theatre, dance studio and accommodation for the Senior Management Team.
