Future Technologies Centre

Work on the purpose-built Future Technologies Centre building began in 2024 following the demolition of Junction Mills and surveys by appointed contractor Morgan Sindall. After months of preparatory work, groundbreaking in December officially marked the second phase of construction.

The project was made possible thanks to £15m funding from the Department for Education’s Further Education Capital Transformation Fund (FECTF), secured in October 2022 and boosted by a £2m College contribution.

The Future Technologies Centre will be the new home of modern automotive and digital engineering curricula, such as electric/hybrid vehicles and advanced manufacturing. Our Automotive, Digital and Engineering Department will relocate from Bowling Back Lane to the new premises once completed in 2026.

When on site, as many as 650 students will use cutting-edge industry-relevant facilities to gain skills in new technologies, preparing them for careers in a fast-moving sector. The Centre will be vital in supporting the growth of technology and low-carbon skills capability within West Yorkshire.
