The College is relocating from its current base at Cowbridge Road Campus to a site previously occupied by the former Police Station and a multi-storey car park at Cheapside, in the heart of Bridgend.

The new development will target being net zero in operation when it’s completed in the summer of 2026.

Wilmott Dixon will work with Rio Architects to build the new campus, which will include a 200-seat theatre, hair and beauty salons, recording and dance studios, design workshops, flexible meeting spaces and more.

The redevelopment is partly funded by the Welsh Government’s Sustainable Communities for Learning programme.

Vivienne Buckley, principal and CEO at Wilmott Dixon, said: “We are excited about the aspirational plans to create a vibrant new town centre campus in the heart of Bridgend.

“Our ambition is to create a net-zero carbon building, bringing twenty-first century learning and teaching facilities to Bridgend.”
