Type of Project:

This was a new build extending the main site. There were two motives for the project:

Fal building: A new HE building for the main site campus. The College had developed HE over several years integrated within Programme Areas across the campus but having reached 700 full time HE students it was important to create a new discrete HE facility.

Lynher building: A new FE building to accommodate the increase in the number of FE students (3700 full time FE students). The new building accommodates the Sports Programme Area and the Health & Community Studies Programme Area.

Start/End Date: May 2005 - 0ct 2006.

Post Occupancy: Changes Made As A Result Of Feedback

The College is waiting for the building to be in use for a year before any changes. A feedback survey is in the process of being produced for users - it will take the form of a paper-based and an electronic survey and users will be given a choice of which one they'd rather complete. The paper-based survey will be distributed via the in-house HE students' bulletin and in the public and social spaces within the College. When users log on to the intranet there will be information on access to the survey. Early informal feedback is that more PCs are required and the College is looking into additional provision.
