£300m city college super-campus will be biggest in the UK

GLASGOW is to become the biggest college campus in the UK with 25,000
students and 1000 staff.

A £300million super- campus to be created in the city centre is expected to
trigger a flood of applications from students around the world.

The go-ahead for the ambitious further education masterplan comes after
four city colleges signed an agreement yesterday to launch a new company
to spearhead the project.

Appropriately called New Campus Glasgow, the specialist business venture
is backed by Central College, Stow College, Glasgow Metropolitan College
and the Glasgow College of Nautical Studies.

A blueprint to create a giant shared campus in the heart of Glasgow had
been dogged by a series of bitter squabbles among the colleges especially
over fears that some existing facilities were to be rundown.

But now college chiefs have agreed to work together to create Britain's
largest college campus, which will be one of the biggest in Europe, within
the next four years year.
