London’s United Colleges Group has bought the site of the Olympic Office Centre in Wembley to transform into a major new education campus building in Brent.

UCG, which brings together the College of North West London and City of Westminster College, is still at an early stage of planning for the scheme.

Stephen Davis, Group Principal and CEO of the United Colleges Group, said: “Our new site will bring more education, training, and skills opportunities for the residents of Brent and the wider London community and will provide the community with an important place to work and learn.

“With its focus on green skills and emerging technologies, we are also pleased to say that our new location will enable us not just to provide a boost to the present generation but will do so for many generations to come.”
