In April a full complement of 18 members and guests
enjoyed a special preview tour of the £23m South Bristol
Skills Academy, shortly before the main contractors
Cowlin were due to hand over to the City of Bristol
College.
After a buffet lunch, PPE was donned to walk around
the site. The South Bristol Skills Academy is a major
part of the wider regeneration of south Bristol and a key
component in the drive to improve standards of education and the
levels of skills across the city. At the heart of the 11,000 sq m
building is the 'Winter Garden and Terraces', a series of central
interactive flexible spaces which come together to create a vibrant
hub for the college - a place to meet, work and
socialise.
