The winners of the exciting competition Bradford College launched to
mark the unveiling of the new Accommodation Strategy was revealed
today. Course Tutor, Kay Marshall, Learning Assistant, Jean Plowman
and their students from Personal & Community Skills, beat off stiff
competition to scoop the £100 prize and have their names immortalised
forever within a memorial in the new building.
Principal,
Michele was proud to present the winners of the Phase 1 naming
competition with the £100 prize money and reveal the name of the new
building. Michele said: “We received almost 100 entries. I would
like to thank everyone who took part in the competition. I would like
to announce that the winning entry for the competition to name the new
Phase 1 College Building is: "Trinity Green Campus! This reflects the
innovative and inspirational nature of the new building.”
The
new building is eco friendly with low carbon emissions, designed to
maximise natural light/ventilation built with sustainability in mind.
Explaining
the inspiration behind the newly named building, Course Tutor, Kay
said: “Part of my syllabus is to promote the importance of
environmental and related green issues. Both Jean and I encouraged the
students to think about the area surrounding the new build. We took
the students up there to observe the green aspect of the surrounding
area. The name was developed out of a group discussion. We thought
about place names in the area, the environmental and the innovative
implications of the new build.”
Kay continued: “Both Jean and
I are delighted our group of students with learning disabilities are
part of the winning team! They’re immensely proud of being students at
Bradford College and get a great deal out of the experience. Their
success in being part of the group who thought up the new name will
raise their profile and give them a stake in the future of the College!”
