This is the first artist impression of Cardiff Sixth Form College’s (CSFC) proposed new campus. The project, which is seeking planning permission, would turn the Victorian-built and listed Cory’s and Merchant Place buildings on Bute Street in Cardiff Bay into a new teaching and learning facility.
CSFC, which currently operates from a smaller site on Newport Road close to the city centre, would also invest in a new student accommodation development nearby at a current vacate land site behind the Wales Millennium Centre at Pierhead Street.
The project, which would have a development cost of tens of millions of pounds, would see CSFC - part of Dukes Education Group and whose majority of students are attracted from overseas - increasing its student numbers by around 200 to 600. The college teaches both GCSE and A-level subjects. With boarding annual fees are around £50,000.
