Etone College
Nuneaton
Etone Technology Language and Vocational College
A new Post 16 Centre at Etone College has recently been completed in Nuneaton, Warwickshire ready to accept students from September 2011.
The three storey development has been designed to high sustainable environmental standards to achieve BREEAM Very Good, and has the capacity to accommodate 250 students with the possibility of future expansion.
The school’s brief included wanting “a brand new, state of the art facility, which will respond to the educational, social and economic challenges of the 21st Century”. The centre embraces new technology, is flexible in its capacity and has been built to reflect the strong family and community ethos of the college.
“The Etone College Sixth Form building is an architectural triumph. The dream of having a Sixth Form has been surpassed by the statement the new building makes. It is an inspiring venue for learning and teaching, standing in stark contrast to its surroundings. My thanks to Richard Bailey and his team for doing such a great job for the staff and students of Etone College; it will be a beacon of educational quality for years to come”.

The exemplar facilities include Technology studios, Performance Arts suite, cutting edge Business Training facilities and ICT suites with Media Production capabilities.
The scheme has been built on the college grounds where the topography provided the basis of the ‘L’ shape footprint design which is built into the slope to provide a semi basement Lower Ground Floor with direct access to the main school. This level contains Technology and Science Classrooms.
