Minister Cuts First Sod At Stranmillis Building Project
Employment and Learning Minister, Angela Smith, has cut the first sod on a £6.5 million building project at Stranmillis University College.
The project, known as the Orchard Development, is being funded by the Department for Employment and Learning under the Reform and Reinvestment Initiative (RRI). It will lead to the demolition and replacement of two existing buildings with a teaching block and sports hall block.
The new build will provide accommodation for the Art, Technology and Design, Physical Education and Health and Leisure Departments.
After viewing the plans for the development, the Minister said: "These new facilities will ensure students will have the learning environment necessary to get the most out of their time at Stranmillis. They reflect Government's commitment to investing in the Higher Education sector, through the Reform and Reinvestment Initiative and will benefit future teachers in nursery, primary and special schools."
The Minister was welcomed to Stranmillis University College by Mr Steve Costello, Chair of the Governing Body and Professor Richard McMinn, Principal who briefed the Minister on the new Orchard Building.
The planned opening date for the new facilities is March 2008.
