Description:
Excitement is mounting as Northern Regional College’s impressive new Causeway Campus in Coleraine nears completion.<br/><br/>The £46 million campus development at Union Street, which will transform the provision of further and higher education in the area, has generated much interest locally.<br/><br/>None more so since the release of drone footage of the impressive 12,560 sqm building which runs over four storeys, created by Magherafelt contractor Heron Bros. <br/><br/>Advanced technology equipment has already been installed throughout the building ahead of the official handover in late April. Over the coming months, other equipment, fixtures, fittings and furniture will be put in place.<br/><br/>A series of staff familiarisation tours are also planned for June, and it is anticipated that staff will move into the new building in early August to be ready to welcome new and returning students for the start of the 2024/25 academic year in September.<br/><br/>Fully funded by the Department for the Economy, Causeway Campus forms part of a wider £97 million capital investment programme to provide new campuses for Northern Regional College in both Coleraine and Ballymena.<br/><br/>Attendance at the College’s recent Open Days at the Ballymoney and Coleraine campuses was up by 34% on last year, auguring well for future enrolment figures.
