Our community neighbours are invited to drop in and find out more about our redevelopment plans. Hosted by Gower College Swansea and Kier Group.
9 October
4-7pm
Gorseinon Campus (Costa)
Gower College Swansea and its construction partner Kier are now pleased to announce the start of a major redevelopment project for the Gorseinon Campus, marking a significant investment in teaching and learning for its students.
When completed in 2026, the project will incorporate:
A new entrance area: To enhance both aesthetics and accessibility, this will also create a welcoming, state-of-the-art modern space for students and staff.
Additional classrooms and student social spaces: To significantly enhance the learner experience and inclusion, providing inspirational spaces for students to learn and collaborate.
Enhanced traffic flow system: To reduce congestion and increase safety on campus by widening access onto Belgrave Road.
This project represents a £20.6 million investment, supported by the Welsh Government’s Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme.*
The redevelopment highlights the College’s commitment to substantial future investments, elevating the learner experience and promoting the sustainable growth of the College.
The project will also be the College’s next step in its journey towards net zero carbon in line with Welsh Government standards.
We aim to maintain good communication with our neighbours. We will engage with the local community as well as with the students from the College, working on several exciting initiatives that utilise the project as a learning opportunity. For example, the students will be engaged to develop creative designs which will be displayed on the site hoarding, this will be an ongoing project.
Students studying built environment will be encouraged to visit the site to gain an understanding of construction and review progress which will support their College work. We will also be keeping the local community up to date with both job and apprenticeship opportunities.
Open afternoon/evening
There will also be an opportunity to find out more about the new development, meet our team and ask any questions at our forthcoming open afternoon/evening on Wednesday 9 October, to be held on campus (Costa) from 4pm till 7pm.
