Guests, staff and students gathered at our Wisbech Campus to mark the official opening of the £5.5 million flagship learning building with newly refurbished atrium, learning street and classrooms on Ramnoth Road, Wisbech.
Representatives from local colleges, academies, members of the council, and businesses - including the chief executive of Anglian Water Peter Simpson, and the Mayor - were among those in attendance on Friday 13 November.
Steve Barclay MP was invited to officially unveil the plaque to mark the opening of the new facilities, in the main reception area of the campus, before guests were led on a tour of the new state-of-the-art facilities. Facilities opened to students in September 2015.
Whilst at the opening, Steve Barclay MP was able to meet students currently studying at CWA. He also got a chance to try out the racing cars and talk to computing, childcare, graphics, hair and beauty and fashion students about their experience at the college, and how they find working in the new facilities.
The campus has been truly transformed following the extensive investment to improve its facilities with the addition of the £5.5million flagship learning building, with cutting-edge learning facilities, alongside a new main entrance, reception area, restaurant, social areas and learning resource centre.
CWA Wisbech offers further education opportunities to those in the Wisbech and Fenland areas. Courses on offer include graphic design, fashion, hair and beauty, health and social care, foundation, and engineering courses – among many others - together with programmes run in partnership with Anglian Water.
Principal David Pomfret expressed his gratitude for all involved in the college’s transformation and said: “This is much more than a celebration of fantastic facilities. It is a tangible statement of presence, vision and partnership commitment. We know that learning pays, not only for the individual in terms of life-time earnings but also for the businesses and local economy in terms of growth.
“The college is delighted to be a central partner in the Wisbech 20:20 vision working with Peter Simpson and his Anglian Water team, our MP, GCGP LEP and leaders of Cambridgeshire County Council, Fenland District Council and local businesses. The future is bright and I am confident that Wisbech will unlock massive economic potential across the region.”
In his speech, Steve Barclay MP said: “It has been a real pleasure to join you at the College of West Anglia today. Thank you to David Pomfret on behalf of the community, for what he and the senior leadership team have achieved. I know this is a further step on a continuing journey. Thank you to partners and all those involved who have been here working to make this happen.”
