Darlington College

The new 20,000 sq.m college is an iconic building forming the anchor development of the wider Central Park regeneration project. The glazed hub accommodates a range of services where students can readily access information, advice and guidance, a food court and contemporary restaurant, shop and printing services and the learning resource centre, hairdressing and beauty salons.

The college offers vocational courses in Media, Catering, Hair & Beauty, Engineering, Construction, Motor Vehicle Engineering and Sports Science, as well as academic courses provided by the 6th Form College and Higher Education Centre.  Our space planning experience enabled the team to produce a design that satisfied the curriculum model, the brief and overcome the demands of a difficult site. The hub responds to the urban grain of the approach to the college it works as a reference and an acoustic buffer – internally it is the central focus linking LRC, Central Services, Bistro and Student Services within a day lit three storey galleried atria.
