Work has officially begun on the redevelopment of the Crosskeys Campus, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for education and skills in the local community. This project has received funding and support from the Welsh Government Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme.
Following the completion of an initial phase of demolition works, the campus – which first opened in the 1960鈥檚 as a training hub for the mining industry – will now be transformed into a modern, sustainable learning environment, designed to support future generations of learners.
The redevelopment will be delivered in multiple phases. The first phase will include the creation of a new Energy Centre, business and IT learning spaces, and dedicated areas for exams, independent study and staff use.
Nicola Gamlin, Principal of 女优阁 said 鈥淭his redevelopment is about much more than just buildings 鈥� it鈥檚 about creating opportunities for current and future learners across our communities.
鈥淲e are proud of the role that the Crosskeys Campus has played over generations, and these new facilities will ensure it continues to inspire and support students for many years to come.
鈥淏y investing in modern, sustainable spaces, we are helping learners to gain the skills, confidence and experiences they need to succeed in their future careers.鈥�
The second phase of work is scheduled to begin in spring next year, which will introduce new engineering and motor vehicle workshops, alongside an ultra-modern gym and additional sustainable learning facilities. The full redevelopment is anticipated to be completed by autumn 2027.
