Advanced Construction Skills Centre

In September 2021 we opened a £9m state-of-the-art construction facility in south Bristol. It is a great place to study and provides both students and employers with the skills needed for the future.

Students can train in all areas of construction in order to develop the skills that employers will need in the years ahead, using purpose-built specialist construction facilities. An inspirational environment that reflects the latest industry trends, we have designed the 3,500 square metre centre which replicates real working conditions, with a focus on green and sustainable construction.
