Funding Sources
The steering committee was established to spearhead the National Appeal. The committee worked tirelessly to raise huge amounts of money from a variety of sources and by July 2006 the National Appeal had reached a total of £3.2 million for capital costs and £370,000 for equipment and technology.
A small number of College governors formed a working party to monitor all aspects of the project. The group met on a regular basis to assess and modify design plans and project implementation and manage the budget. The working party also planned and implemented the tendering process for the main contractor.
