Havant and South Downs College given £3.5m from Post-16 Capacity Fund to build new block in Havant

Havant and South Downs College has secured £3.5m from the Post-16 Capacity Fund.

The purpose of the funding is to provide more capacity for schools and colleges that teach children over the age of 16 which will see an increase of learners in September 2024.

HSDC’s Havant Campus will create a new teaching building in the south-east corner of the Havant campus.

The Havant Campus is also the home of the A-level Centre of Excellence.

The new building will see general purpose and IT classrooms.

Principal and chief executive Mike Gaston said: ‘We are so pleased that our A-level Centre of Excellence at Havant has been supported to grow further with the Post-16 Capacity funding. This outstanding building will be a valuable addition.’

The project, which is subject to planning consent, will protect trees and use renewable and natural materials in construction alongside energy-efficient methods of heating and ventilation.
