The new facility will be built on land purchased from Yorkshire Design Group at Hunslet Lane and Black Bull Street in Leeds City Centre. Fuse Studios have been chosen to design the scheme. The building would be spread over an area of 8,000 square metres.
The new facility will offer a wide range of the traditional courses including mechanical and electrical, roofing and brickwork programmes, as well as more courses in the ever expanding area of renewable and sustainability technologies.
Planning for the scheme will be submitted in June with the work expected to begin on-site in October 2013. The facility is scheduled to open in January 2015.
The College has also appointed Buro Happold as engineer and Davis Langdon as project managers.
Leeds College of Building was established in 1960.
