The second phase of development of Leeds College of Building’s Hunslet Campus is almost ready for handover.

The first phase project, also designed by Fuse, opened in 2015 and was seen an important catalyst for the sensitive regeneration of the South Bank area of Leeds. This expansion of the campus is certain to provide a further boost to this important part of the city.

The new buildings create an additional 5,200sqm (56,000sqft) of floorspace including workshops and classrooms arranged around a central 3-storey atrium.

The new space will provide accommodation for 500 staff and students. Teaching/training will mainly focus on Building Services skills including plumbing, heating & ventilation and welding, as well as transport planning and 3 dimensional design including BIM.

Once the finishing touches are complete, we’ll be sending Mr Bradshaw back with his trusty camera to bring you more shots and we will publish a detailed description of the project on the Fuse website soon.
