The picture shows Dr Fazal Dad, Principal and Chief Executive in front the building. A major transformation of an iconic town centre building has been given the go ahead thanks to a Government grant.
Blackburn College’s Victoria Building will be re-developed using the grant after the college demonstrated the need for Government investment. This investment forms part of the Government’s £1.5bn Further Education Capital Transformation Fund and Blackburn College is one of 16 institutions across the UK to receive a share of the funding. The college’s Victoria Building will be completely re-developed as part of a project to ensure the building and facilities support the skills needs of the local labour market and can contribute to local economic regeneration and the levelling-up of skills.
