The brand new campus in Wolverhampton city centre has been gradually gaining shape and showcasing its new look since the groundbreaking ceremony in February 2024.

Along the way, a time capsule has been buried in the foundations and the wraps have come off the three storey building, revealing a striking building with distinctive terracotta coloured cladding.

Work still continues on the building ahead of a planned opening in November, with the Paget Road campus set to closure at the start of the month, with the new photos showing how much work has been completed so far.

Situated around the Old Hall Street and St George’s Parade area, incorporating a site on the corner of Garrick Street and Bilston Street where the former Faces nightclub building once stood, the development is also utilising the existing Metro One building.

Alongside improvements to the neighbouring Adult Education Wolverhampton and Central Library facilities, the £61 million scheme, supported by Government funding, will establish new educational provision that will enhance skills and employment outcomes for residents across the city and wider region.

The new Wolverhampton College campus will offer A Levels in a range of subjects and vocational qualifications in art, design and photography, business and management, catering and hospitality, computing and digital, creative media, games design and e-sports, hair and beauty, health and social care, music technology, performing arts, and science.
