AEW set to be part of the new campus in the heart of the city centre
Welcome to our blog aimed at providing you with up-to-date information on progress at the new City Learning Quarter.
The new campus forms part of the City's ambitious plans to transform the Old Hall Street site and surrounding area into a 'one stop shop' for learning in the city centre. The site will include updated facilities for Adult Education Wolverhampton (AEW), the Library and Wolverhampton College. Offering first class facilities for people of Wolverhampton and beyond, thousands of students are set to walk through its doors and gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen career.
Delivering learning on this site since the late 1970's, Adult Education Wolverhampton is established in the city centre as the leading provider of adult education and looks forward to welcoming the new facilities to make a vibrant learning space in the centre of the city.
The exciting proposals for the City Learning Quarter have been supported by an initial £6.2 million investment from the City of Wolverhampton Council and Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership, which has enabled the completion of design work, site surveys, ground investigations, site acquisition and clearance. The council has also secured £20 million from the government's Levelling Up Fund and £5 million from the Towns Fund to help deliver the City Learning Quarter vision, which is set to be complete in the academic year 2024/2025.
A series of meetings due to kickstart partnership working between AEW, the library and Wolverhampton College starting during the summer term. The meetings will focus on the wider vision, legacy and branding. Watch this space for the next update….
