Redevelopment of Luton Sixth Form College providing new learning and sports facilities.

The redevelopment of Luton Sixth Form College provides comprehensive new learning and sports facilities in a compact clustered layout, and the phased construction allowed the college to continue operating on the same site whilst the new facilities were built.

A central orange “hub” administration block, visible from outside and wrapped by a double height atrium acts as a beacon of orientation at the heart of the college, whilst spacious “streets” leading to five distinct departmental teaching wings, refectory, café and indoor sports hall.
