It is one of several buildings currently being developed on the site, with others including sports and recreation facilities, bars, officers' and SNCO messes along with accommodation 'villages'.

In addition, a Royal Logistics Corps museum will be built.

Leo O'Shea, COO of the DIO, said: "DIO supports service personnel by providing a fit for purpose estate and accommodation so we're happy to be undertaking this project with Skanska.

"The new world class buildings, such as the college, being delivered by the DIO for the MOD, will replace outdated buildings and provide our services personnel with opportunities to learn from each other in facilities fit for the 21st century."
