The modern Garden Mills refurbishment is the result of £5.8m funding received from The Office for Students (OfS) Higher Education Capital Fund with a £1.1m College contribution.

Bradford College was one of only five institutions nationally to receive the maximum allocation. Contractor Tilbury Douglas has finished the strip out of the 1900s five storey building for fit out and completion by the end of Autumn 2024.

Garden Mills will enhance our existing substantial health science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) facilities, incorporating:

• cutting-edge dental facilities,
• a prep room,
• six digital IT labs,
• an ophthalmic dispensing suite,
• a clinical suite,
• a real-life work environment with consulting and testing booths,
• a collaboration area,
• academic teaching spaces…and more.

Higher-level HNC/HND and degree students will use this state-of-the-art building from the start of the new academic year. The refurbished building will also benefit higher-level apprentices.
