New multi million pound Daventry Campus opens to students
Northampton College's new Daventry Campus in Badby Road West, Daventry has opened its doors for the first time, with students able to make the most of a new Digital Academy, industry-standard workshops for motor vehicle engineering and hairdressing and beauty therapy salons.
Courtney Savage, aged 17, a Level 2 health and social care student, said: I think the new building is smarter, it feels bigger and is generally a much nicer place to come to everyday. I think the new style is more appropriate for a college because it feels like a step up from school and more like a university.
Level 3 childcare student Vicky Foulks, aged 16, said: There are much better facilities now which has created a lot more workspace for us to use which is important in childcare as we need to learn a lot of practical aspects of child development.
With facilities like this on our doorstep it opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
