The new facility will house some 1,800 students.

The aspiration of the new College will be to be, as close as possible, to being a carbon neutral site using cutting edge environmental and ecological systems to reduce CO2 emissions. 

Detail is yet to be decided, but this may well include bio-mass boilers burning woodchip rather than gas, additionally solar or wind power may be used, rain-water recycling for all non-drinking usage (toilets etc), maximum use of recycled and recyclable materials in the building project, and a Building Management System (BMS) which will monitor and manage energy usage.

The new college will be completed by August 2011.
