Willesden Centre

The new Telford building provides a totally unique and fantastically high-tech learning environment for the 4,500 plus students that study each year in the College’s Faculty of Technology.

It incorporates the very latest facilities available for teaching construction and engineering crafts, including mobile gas rigs, automated teaching screens, and microphone sound systems, as well as highly modern features such as exposed pipe work and electrics to enable students to see exactly how such services work.

All workshops and other teaching areas have been carefully designed and fitted with specialist machinery and apparatus that reflect the very best of industry standards, creating an outstanding setting for students to begin learning a trade or to develop their professional skills.

Opened officially in March 2009 by Lord Young of the Government’s Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills, it is a truly exceptional facility that provides an inspiring place for students to learn and certainly has the ‘wow factor’!

Provision that now takes place in the Telford building includes courses in the following disciplines: trowel trades, automotive mechanics, mechanical engineering, production and maintenance engineering, welding and fabrication, refrigeration and air-conditioning, gas, heating and ventilation, and plumbing.
