Coleg Gwent

A competition-winning design representing fresh thinking.

This building provides a new entrance feature for Coleg Gwent while the Learning Resource Centre at the first floor is a dramatic space using steel “tree” columns supporting a curved laminated timber roof. Commissioned through an architectural design competition as part of a programme of regeneration for the Campus, the new facility is regarded as a symbol of “fresh thinking”. Naturally ventilated classrooms surround an exhibition space and examination hall connected to the entrance foyer providing the essential ‘heart’ to the building.
