The firms' Learning+ design team will act as lead architects for the overhaul of the Openshaw, Harpurhey and Wythenshawe campuses.
A variety of renovation and new build projects will be carried out across the three sites as part of the college's five-year estate strategy, as well as to improve the quality of their facilities and overall student learning experience.

Proposals include remodelling the main campus in Openshaw on Ashton Old Road, which will offer new and improved sports, construction and logistics facilities. The Harpurhey campus will also be redeveloped to provide hospitality facilities and professional, public-facing units to support a variety of vocational courses focused on serving the local community.
In Wythenshawe, the existing buildings will be remodelled to offer hair and beauty facilities and more office space and administrative areas, to enhance the working environment for teachers and staff.
IBI Studio Director, Sue Chadwick, said: "We are pleased to secure this project as part of The Manchester College's £170m estate strategy. Manchester College is one of the largest general further education colleges in the UK, and we are looking forward to upgrading three of its campus facilities to better address the needs of staff and students."
