Work has started to replace a Nottingham college with 'fantastic' new social housing. Demolition of the former Nottingham College on Farnborough Road in Clifton began earlier this year so construction of Nottingham Community Housing Association's (NCHA) new headquarters and housing could begin in early June.
The derelict college had been empty for some time and was hit by a large fire on April 14, 2022. The new complex will include 50 apartments for older people with onsite support and communal facilities, 14 apartments and six bungalows for supported living.
It will also host the new headquarters for NCHA, accommodating around 200 staff at any one time. The existing sporting facilities, including the football pitches, club-house, changing rooms and gym will remain, and help support NCHA’s ambition to create a "vibrant, stand-alone community of colleagues, residents and local people".
