The new three-storey campus building for Loreto College will be constructed on Moss Road West adjacent to the existing campus on Chichester Road South.

The new building will sit alongside the existing college building, with facilities to enhance the learning environment and curriculum delivery. These include 20 classrooms, a lecture theatre with a seating capacity of 200 and a new study centre.

The work will also include partial refurbishment of existing college buildings with new science labs and catering facilities. A science garden and landscaped reflection spaces will also be created to maximise the use of green space.

Near 40% of the new campus building electrical demands will be met by air source heat pumps, solar panels, passive ventilation systems and night cooling.

Sustainable forms of transport will also be encouraged as part of the campus investment with the introduction of EV charging and bike storage for 100 bikes.

The project was procured through the NHS Shared Business Services Public Sector Construction Works Framework, which covers all types of building and construction works, providing the NHS and the wider public sector a compliant route to market for construction works.
