Our Aldershot College opened in Holder Road in September 2005, and received its official Topping Out ceremony in December of that year.
Paul Bevan, Chief Executive of the South East Regional Assembly, placed a commemorative plaque as the final piece in the brickwork before John Barton, from property refurbishers ROK, handed over a key to the building to Martin Earwicker, Chairman of the College's Corporation Board.
Aldershot College provides vital trade skills, such as plumbing, building, carpentry and Electrical Installation; a drop-in IT centre for residents and local businesses; basic and essential skills, such as literacy and numeracy are all available. There is also a coffee shop on site for students, offering hot and cold snacks.
Principal Christine Davis said: "Aldershot College is a lynchpin in our wide vocational programme, which, together with our strong links with industry, ensures our students receive the highest level of training for their chosen careers. The new College, almost unique in its design and concept, will be a model for others to follow."
