Campus description
All about the Basford campus.
The multi-million construction skills centre has a national reputation for the quality of education and training on offer. We have just built a dedicated building with huge workshops to accommodate our plastering, brickwork, painting and decorating and plumbing students.
The Basford campus is also home to our resident animals who act as great teachers for our animal care students!
Our Green Skills Centre, housed within the NSEC building, is also new for 2025 and boasts cutting-edge technology to equip students with skills in renewable technologies.
Our recently opened 'The Gateway', is home to our supported learning students, providing independent living and employability skills to enhance their future opportunities.
