A major redevelopment of one of the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ’s largest further education colleges is set to complete this autumn.

Construction at Coleg Cambria’s Yale campus in Wrexham is on course to finish in November.

The £21m development is being financially supported by Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking and the Welsh Government’s 21st century schools and education programme.

Lloyds has provided a funding facility of £7m for the 96,000 sq ft project, which forms part of a wider £60m investment programme across the college’s property portfolio in Wrexham and Deeside.

The campus overhaul will benefit Coleg Cambria’s 20,000-strong student population.

Gareth Jones, director of finance at Coleg Cambria, said: “Our ongoing investment in education continues to make a significant contribution to the economy in North Wales as we look to invest across all five of our sites.

"We’ve been working towards ambitious plans to expand into higher education and degree-level apprenticeships, and these new facilities will be essential to realising that vision.

“A project of this size is inevitably complex; requiring a flexible approach to finance to ensure every piece of the jigsaw falls into place at the right time. The team at Lloyds Bank have been by our side from conception through to completion to allow that to be possible ahead of schedule.”
