A new Nottingham College facility for more than 130 pupils is being planned. Nottingham College has submitted proposals to build a two-storey specialist Centre for Employment and Independent Living at its Basford campus, with it expected to provide 136 students for the 2024/25 academic year.
The new building would support the needs of Students with Learning Difficulties or Disabilities (SLDD) as part of a relocation from the existing Arthur Mee Centre. The new building would include flexible teaching rooms, computer suites, an art/multi purpose space, a teaching kitchen providing cooking skills, and a sensory room.
Planning documents show an external social and garden area are planned, as well as drop off facilities for taxis and minibuses. Due to their needs, a majority of the new centre’s students would be dropped off by private car, taxi or minibus.
