Latest Images of the Tonbridge Campus

The building work at the Tonbridge campus on Brook Street continue at apace and look more impressive by the day. The top levels of the new building have now been handed over and will soon be occupied by staff and students. Here are some of the latest aerial shots.

First Shoots Film

As part of our Campus 21 regeneration we plan to hold a number of events showcasing the College. On October 19th 2009 we held the first of these, a take on the traditional ‘Topping Out’ ceremony, where builders celebrate reaching the highest point of a new build, which we called First Shoots.

The First Shoots event featured a reception in the Media and Arts Centre, a tour of the impressive new build and then a tree planting with College Principal, Bill Fearon, Cllr. Sue Murray, Mayor of Tonbridge and ex-West Kent College student, Richard Saward from Galliford Try and current National Diploma construction student, James Andrews. We reported the news initially here but now we have an update: a video recorded at the event with lots of great comment from our guests. The short film also features a composition from music student Andy Frasier.

Above is the artist's impression of how the front of our new campus will look. Below is a picture that was taken a few weeks ago and, as you can see, things are taking shape.

First Shoots

On Monday 19th October we held an event to celebrate the progress of the College build so far. We called it 'First Shoots' and it shows how our 'new roots' are growing and developing. We made this video (edited by our Design Unit apprentice Emma Needham), to be played as our guests arrive, to show a few views from around the impressive build.
