Yeovil College to Host New Construction Innovation Centre Open Event
The event is aimed at students who have applied to study Construction at Yeovil College from September 2026, whether they have already applied or intend to apply before September, and their parents.
The event marks the opening of a major new facility and represents a significant milestone in the College’s ambitious £60+ million campus redevelopment programme. The Construction Innovation Centre is one of a series of new builds designed to futureproof education and skills training across the region, and enhances construction skills, knowledge and training within the South West.
The new centre has been purpose-built to reflect modern industry standards and will feature a range of cutting-edge facilities, and follows the opening of the Trade Skills Construction Centre at the start of 2025. It includes:
• Specialist construction workshops and practical training spaces
• Digital and innovation-led teaching rooms
• Industry-standard equipment supporting multiple construction trades
• Collaborative spaces designed to strengthen employer engagement and skills development.
Visitors will have the opportunity to tour the state-of-the-art building, meet college staff, and learn more about how the Construction Innovation Centre will support learners, employers, and the wider construction sector across Somerset, Dorset, and Devon.
“This multi-million pound centre represents a major investment in the future of construction skills and innovation. It has been designed to give learners access to industry-relevant facilities and experiences, whilst strengthening our partnerships with employers and supporting regional economic growth,” said Mark Bolton, Principal & CEO of Yeovil College.
This future student-focused Open Event offers attendees the chance to explore the facility, ask questions, and celebrate a landmark development in Yeovil College’s continued commitment to delivering high-quality, industry-aligned education.
