Design and build of a new single storey building (approx. 1600m²), providing high quality teaching accommodation and specialist animal accommodation, together with associated external works and services.
Designed to provide a state-of-the-art building for students studying animal management and animal behaviour and welfare, the new centre includes a desert room, a tropical room and a nocturnal room, to house a wider variety of species and enable them to be studied and cared for in a more natural environment.
The new Animal Management Centre will enable the college to deliver a broader, more exciting curriculum for learners as they will be able to care for a much wider variety of species and allow students greater interaction with them.
The new building is of a single storey steel framed structure with a combination of flat and mono pitched roofs, with solar panels and includes two irregular ‘pods’ protruding from the rectilinear structure.
The building achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating.
