Burton and South Derbyshire UTC

Building area 5,400m2

Contract period 2013 – 2015

Project value £10m

The Burton & South Derbyshire UTC Academy Trust is a University Technical College capable of accommodating 600 students in the age range of 14 – 19.  Opened in September 2015, this UTC specialises in teaching both Biomedical Science and Engineering.  The educational sponsors for the UTC were Coventry University and Burton & South Derbyshire College; they worked in tandem with employer sponsors such as Nestlé, the Royal Derby Hospital, the Football Association, Perform at St. George’s Park, and a wide range of other regional employer partners.

This brand-new 5,400m² UTC sits very close to the train station at King Edward Place – utilising, remodelling, and refurbishing the existing Town Hall Annex building with new-build extensions parallel to Waterloo Street.
