New Middlesbrough campus under way

Steelwork is under way for the new Middlesbrough College located at Middlehaven, the former dock area of the town.

The new educational facility will occupy a 31,000m² site and offer accommodation for 20,000 students.

When it opens in September 2008, the Middlehaven campus will replace the college’s four existing sites around Middlesbrough.

Steelwork contractor Elland Steel is erecting approximately 1,000t of structural steel for the main one-storey college building.

The college is the first part of Tees Valley Regeneration’s much larger project which will eventually transform the 250 acre site into a mixed use waterfront destination.
