On T-Level Thursday we look back at the development at North Hertfordshire College in Stevenage. We worked with the college to gain funding to adapt, refurbish and renovate existing classroom and non-teaching space at the campus to create a Science, Technology and Innovation T-Level Centre, suitable for delivery of the T-Level curriculum commencing in 2023. T-Level curriculum is supported by local and leading businesses to offer students industry experience as part of their studies. The qualifications are recognised by universities and other education providers, enabling students to gain the skills necessary for employment or higher apprenticeships.

“We’re really pleased with design and space planning of the T levels facilities as they are making a big difference to how the curriculum is being delivered. The refurbishment project was delivered with minimal disruption, within an active college environment around exam periods to a very high standard of workmanship. It provides our students with a realistic industry environment in which to train and gain confidence before progressing into their chosen career and has strengthened our linkages with local employers. Saunders have worked closely with the College throughout the project from application to secure the funding through to completion of the space to the design parameters agreed. Our students love the new facilities and many visitors have commented on the spaces refurbished as part of this project and the opportunities and experiences this provides to our students during their time with us.”
