The college is relocating from its current base at Cowbridge Road Campus to a site formerly occupied by the Police Station and a multi-storey car park at Cheapside, in the heart of Bridgend. Reports Contract Journal
Willmott Dixon has been awarded the contract under the SEWSCAP 3 framework, with the 13,000 m² development scheduled for completion in the summer of 2026.
The contractor is collaborating with Rio Architects on the new campus, which will feature a 200-seat theatre, hair and beauty salons, recording and dance studios, design workshops, flexible meeting spaces, and more.
Neal Stephens, managing director for Willmott Dixon in Wales, said.“We are delighted to be chosen for this transformational project in Bridgend. With a strong presence across south Wales, it follows our work to deliver the Police Learning Centre for South Wales Police in Bridgend, which was completed three years ago.
“Just like then, our focus will be on supporting the ‘local pound’ by using regional supply chain partners where possible and working with students at Bridgend College to support their own learning journeys.”
