Dewsbury Learning Village – Steel Signing Event

As part of the construction works at Dewsbury Learning Village at Kirklees College, a steel signing event was held on the 19th October 2017.

The event marked the official “topping out” of the building and guests were invited to sign messages on a steel sheet that will be mounted inside the new centre to inspire future students.

The Springfield Centre is one part of two new centres to open in Dewsbury town centre in 2018/19 to replace the current Dewsbury Centre and Batley School of Art. Providing much needed modernised facilities for science and CDI graphis and design.

Roger Marsh OBE, Chair of the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP) said: “The delivery of these state-of-art facilities are an essential part of our joint delivery agreement with Kirklees College to enable them to continue to deliver exceptional technical and employer-led provision.

By investing £11.1m into this development we are providing more and better facilities for our City Region’s learners to have the right skills for fulfilling and economically viable careers in our priority skills sectors of construction, digital and health and care. I am delighted to see the next stage of Dewsbury Learning Quarter underway.”
