“Working on education projects is particularly satisfying as you know that they will bring benefits to young people for generations to come and we are looking forward to welcoming thousands of students into these buildings in 2027.”

The new College campuses will be maintained and operated for 25 years, by Robertson FM, once construction works are completed in 2027, ensuring that the buildings remain as high-quality facilities for years to come.
