Wiltshire College & University Centre welcomed new Chippenham MP Sarah Gibson to the Lackham campus last week for a tour of the site ahead of the start of the new academic year.
Led by WCUC Principal & CEO Iain Hatt, the visit included a tour of the Wiltshire Business School – a brand-new facility at the campus which was completed over the summer and will open its doors to students this term.
The £2.2million project has involved the renovation of Lackham House – the magnificent Georgian manor house that is the central hub of the campus – to create a series of modern learning spaces.
Improved IT provision and a modern reception area sit alongside flexible classrooms and conferencing facilities, providing students with an environment akin to a 21st Century business centre.
Alongside the extensive array of land-based courses already offered at Lackham, the campus now hosts the Wiltshire Business School, delivering business-related courses including new T Level programmes for September 2024.
Iain Hatt said: “We are grateful to Sarah Gibson for giving up her time to visit our Lackham campus last week. We were delighted to be able to offer her a tour of the site and explain more about the growing variety of courses we offer at Lackham which are helping to support the development of the workforce of the future across a wide range of industries.”
Sarah Gibson said: “I would like to thank Wiltshire College & University Centre for inviting me to tour the Lackham campus. It was fantastic to see the range of modern facilities available to students. I look forward to continually supporting the aspirations of the college and its students.”
Spaces are still available for a number of post-16 courses starting this September across all WCUC campuses. Find out more about all of our courses via www.wiltshire.ac.uk and visit your local campus to make an application.
