A new campus building at Harrogate College is set to include a mock hospital ward and children’s nursery to offer more technical skills to students.

Work on the £20 million building on Hornbeam Park is set to start in 2024.

Principal Danny Wild said the new campus would also include a range of digital technology facilities, which will enable the college to offer technical training expertise.

Mr Wild met with North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for education, learning and skills, Cllr Annabel Wilkinson, and assistant director for education and skills, Amanda Newbold, to explain more about the project this week.

He said:

“The new building will be very much about meeting the skills needs of North Yorkshire, especially in areas where we know businesses are currently struggling with gaps - such as health and social care, construction, digital, hospitality and sustainable technologies like retrofitting.
“We will be focused on working with North Yorkshire Council, and continuing our strong collaborative work with other local colleges and businesses, to develop these in-demand skills. Our new campus will put us in a great place to do so, and to deliver on those new technical qualifications - principally T Levels - that are becoming increasingly popular as other qualifications are phased out.”

The firm has worked closely with the community forest, volunteering to collect acorns and grow trees which will be planted in the local area.

Staff at Belzona were able to fundraise £5,000 for the White Rose Forest through a range of events, including climbing the Yorkshire Three Peaks, participating in The Great North Run, and hosting a Virtual Race Night. 

The company’s directors pledged to match the raised amount. As a result, their contribution of an additional £5,000 brought the total donation amount to £10,000.
