Proposed front entrance for the Enfield Centre 

College plans to make £13million investment in Enfield
The completion of the Learner Hub, our Construction Training Workshop and new entrance to Kingfisher House are all part of our £13million plan for the renewal and refurbishment of our Enfield Centre, making sure we have the very best to offer in teaching and learning in Enfield for everyone.

In the next two years…

College Estates Strategy
Our Estates Strategy is focused on raising the quality of our learners’ experience at both college centres. We have already completed a range of refurbishment and building projects, and we are embarking on several more. At the Enfield Centre completion for our Construction Training Workshop is planned for July 2012, when we hope to start work on our new link building between Park and Kingfisher House. By 2014, our investment in our Enfield Centre will be in the region of £13million

The Learner Hub
The Learner Hub, an investment of £2.2million for our Enfield Centre, is a key part of the College’s Estates Strategy. The Hub will provide a one-stop-shop for learner welfare services, such as student funding and finance, mentoring and counselling, as well as, extra-curricular enrichment activities. On the floor above we have six additional classrooms.

Designed in the same style as Kingfisher House, which in itself is an exceptional building, there are interlinking doorways between Kingfisher and the Hub, and the Hub and Collinwood. This presented our architects and builders with a challenge, since Kingfisher and Collinwood are at different heights, but one they met and solved expertly. Built on the site of a small car park between the two buildings, the Hub was erected within a restricted space, which makes this achievement all the more laudable.

New Construction workshop for June 2012
In just a few months the College will launch our new purpose built Construction Workshop, another investment of £2.2 million. In response to local need, we opened our Enfield Centre Construction facility in January 2010. Each year around 200 students train in Construction skills. In response to the overwhelming success of the project, we are planning to expand this provision further –which shows how our Enfield centre adapts and grows, to meet the needs of our learners as well as the wider community.

Cafeteria and Collinwood refurbishment
We completed the refurbishment of our Cafeteria and the façade of our Collinwood building in September 2011. For the future we are investing £2.5million to extend our cafeteria and dining facilities to seat an extra 300 people.

New entrance planned and Park Building refurbished
We are making a £5.7million investment to construct a new link building, reception and entrance to Kingfisher House and to refurbish our existing Park Building. The new building will create additional teaching space allowing us to vacate the Ride building and find alternative uses for the land.

Working with Others
The College is working with a charity to build a specialist college for young adults with learning difficulties and disabilities. In this joint project, the College could donate land and the charity would provide additional funding. The specialist provision will focus on independent home based living rather than residential care.

New Education and Training Opportunities:
Our Enfield Centre symbolises innovation and new development. In recent years we have welcomed a partnership with Boreham Wood Football Club which has led to us having our very own Football Academy. Our under 19s are the best in the country and in May of this year the College’s team won the national Under-19 England Colleges Cup, earning the title of ‘National England College Champions’. Some of our players have even played internationally and as well as pursuing a career in football these students are also able to study Construction and Sports Theory.

New hairdressing salon at the Tottenham Centre
The School of Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy at the Tottenham Centre has undergone substantial refurbishment during the summer months resulting in two state-of-the-art hairdressing salons and a vibrant new reception area.

The new salons are equipped with modern furniture and equipment to undertake all aspects of hairdressing activities including treatments for all hair types. The surroundings have been aesthetically developed to ensure all clients can enjoy and relax to their maximum benefit whilst undertaking truly professional treatments. 

Learners are also benefitting from the modern salons and equipment, which is preparing them well for working in today’s industry. Existing and new clients have commented exceptionally favourably on our new resources, which compare well with the standards expected in the industry.

The salons are open to the general public during the week and bookings can be made to attend a variety of different treatments.
