Leeds City College - Printworks Phase 3

In partnership with the LEP, we’ve invested £10 million of Leeds City Region Growth Deal funding into the refurbished South Bank Leeds campus on the site of a former print hall redevelopment, creating a world class training facility; this will see an increase in students numbers by around 900 (over five years) studying Business, IT. Computer Science and digital technologies, with focus on LEP priority skills areas: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), Digital & ICT, and Hotel & Catering. A brand-new restaurant and bar, open to the public, will also be based in the £10 million building.

We invested £9 million into Leeds City College’s Printworks campus from the £1 billion Leeds City Region Growth Deal.

The refurbished South Bank Leeds campus on the site of a former printhall, will house more than 1,300 students studying Business, IT, Computer Science and digital technologies from September.
