Morgan Sindall has completed building work on a new £12 million TTE training centre in Middlesborough.
The construction firm has officially handed over the building at the College's Middlehaven campus in central Middlesbrough less than a year after starting construction on site.
Work has now begun on fitting out the 3,000 sq m two-storey building, moving equipment from TTE's current site in South Bank and installing brand new facilities in time for the new academic year in September. The College's engineering employer advisory board,
which provides ongoing advice on latest developments and trends in the industry, has helped to shape the fit-out of the centre to ensure it matches the most up to date requirements of industry.
The new state-of-the-art centre will train over 300 full-time students, 300 apprentices and 500 adults each year, alongside a thriving international cohort of students.
Its facilities will include:
• Seven large multifunction/multidiscipline workshops to provide for Instrumentation, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Mechanical, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Process Engineering and Net Zero Low Carbon Technology Workspaces
• Seven breakout classrooms and study spaces
• Large Conference Room and staff workspaces
• Student social and welfare areas
In line with Morgan Sindall's Intelligent Solutions approach, the new centre was built to sustainable design principles with features including a full photovoltaic solar roof. It also offers easy access to wider campus facilities and transport links.
Alex Isted, Area Director from Morgan Sindall Construction, who was present at the handover, said: "Middlesborough College Group and TTE's ambition for world-class new facilities has been at the heart of the delivery of this project and we’ve enjoyed the opportunity
to work collaboratively with all parties to bring this unique vision to life.
"We're pleased to be handing over the new building on schedule, which will provide a stunning new facility to help develop the engineers of tomorrow.
"The training that will be delivered here will help create a skilled workforce for the sectors that will be instrumental in net-zero targets being reached – ensuring the North East region is well placed to be at the forefront of vital new developments in green technology."
Courses which will be hosted at the new centre will include a range of programmes for school leavers, adults, employers and international students.
Subject specialisms at the site will include Mechanical Engineering, Electrical, Instrumentation, Process and Wind Turbines.
The centre will help TTE continue to provide high quality TTE apprenticeship programmes to a wide range of employers across the North East.
Short courses it will host will include Electrical Safety, Hydraulic Systems, Virtual Process Control Room Operations, Safety Passport, Leadership and Management and many more.
