A proposed redevelopment of Bradford College will be put under the public spotlight next week.

The Telegraph & Argus exclusively revealed earlier this month that a £50 million building project had been given the go ahead.

A public consultation meeting will now be held on Monday from 4pm at the college to discuss plans for the new building.

The cash for the project will come from a £35 million loan taken out by the college and £15m from reserves.

Work on the new build will start this summer and it should be ready by 2014.

It will be on the site of the former Randall Well Building and will eventually replace the Westbrook, McMillan, Appleton and Old Buildings. The Westbrook Building will be demolished and the remaining buildings will either be sold or put to other use. The college plans to retain Lister Building, The Grove Library, Bolton Royd and Trinity Green Campus.

College principal, Michele Sutton, said: “It’s a very exciting time to be part of Bradford College. Our new, iconic campus will revolutionise our current estate, add to the regeneration of Bradford and provide a superb student experience.

“Students will benefit from the bringing together of facilities and curriculum into a single location, new styles of learning which embrace cutting edge technologies, realistic work environments that will be open to the public and opportunities to showcase learning activity through open plan areas.”
