Located on the outskirts of historic Salisbury, the College’s Salisbury campus offers a wide range of vocational and creative courses from entry level through to degrees validated by some of the UK’s top universities.
The campus is currently undergoing a £14million redevelopment to refresh a large proportion of its teaching facilities and has already seen a suite of labs completed to facilitate exciting new courses in the Life Sciences.
Developments
The development at our Salisbury campus was made possible by over £24m of investment into our Salisbury and Lackham campuses, secured by the Swindon & Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership (SWLEP). More than £14million is being spent on refurbishing a new building and transforming the whole campus. Work started on re-cladding the exterior of the campus in November 2018, and in June 2019 building works commenced to replace the Bourne building at the heart of the campus.
