Building a difference - not just a different building.
What are the plans for the Ellesmere Port Campus?
The proposed new build and refurbishment (circa 19,500 sq. metres) will improve existing facilities and provide new accommodation for areas such as hospitality and catering and the visitor economy, art, design and media, hairdressing and beauty therapy, health and social care, childcare, sport and public services and performing arts, as well as community resources such as restaurants, a spa and a health centre. The new Campus will be beautifully landscaped. The proposal includes additional parking and areas for outdoor art.
