College on Leek Road

the University Quarter, a major education-led regeneration programme for the
city.
It includes this new campus built on a 10,000m2 site, alongside a new
Staffordshire University science centre.

| The
college was established in 1970 on Victoria Road, Fenton,
Stoke-on-Trent; making it the first purpose-built sixth form college
in the country. Next to it was the Fenton Manor Sports Complex.
Originally build with a capacity of 700 students, it eventually came
to teach more than double that that figure.
The idea of a 'University Quarter' in the City was first announced in 2004, and was developed for the next few years. In late 2008 planning
permission was given for the college to build a new campus on Leek
Road, as part of a £1.5 billion regeneration project in North
Staffordshire. |
