The finishing touches are being made to one of Norwich’s most distinctive new buildings as City College Norwich’s Digi-Tech Factory nears completion.
The first students to use the new building will start in September, studying everything from IT and computing to games design. Part funded by the government’s Towns Fund, the £11 million building is a stunning addition to the college’s Ipswich Road campus.
The Digi-Tech Factory will bring together the very latest in technology, teaching and learning with the creativity for which City College Norwich is already well known. To reinforce the links, the new building has bridge corridors into the college’s creative arts building, another highly distinctive architectural presence on the campus.
It will also bring together the college’s digital skills provision into a single, purpose built building with state-of-the-art capabilities, and it means that Norwich and Norfolk will see significantly more students and apprentices gaining digital qualifications.
College principal Corrienne Peasgood said: “It has been brilliant watching the Digi-Tech Factory take shape over recent months.
“The smooth progress of the build, and the extensive work that has gone into future proofing the building, is a huge testament to everyone involved.
“We are really excited about the difference the Digi-Tech Factory is going to make for digital skills training in the region, with our first students set to benefit from this September.”
