CROYDON College has submitted a plan for a major £3 million expansion project to transform the Park Lane end of its campus.
The college submitted an expression of interest to the Derpartment for Education last year but has now put together a more detailed plan for its 'state-of-the-art' innovation and enterprise walk.
The college has already raised £2 million from the sale of adjacent land and has now submitted a £1 million funding bid to the London Enterprise Panel for the rest of the funds.
The proposals would see 2,000 square metres of college land refurbished to create learning space for digital, creative and technological, customer service and retail skills.
There would also be space for pop-up shops and businesses as well as an employment agency.
Frances Wadsworth, college principal, said: "If we get the full funding required, well that would be amazing news. The development will allow our students to learn using new, cutting-edge facilities, in collaboration with employers and partners, using the latest technology, giving our students a real advantage as they start and progress their careers."
