LHC’s landscape team also provided a complementary design which enhances neighbour’s privacy, provided a new entrance plaza and set the buildings in an attractive natural context.
The Lifestyle Building was officially opened in October 2016, and now provides highly specified, professional, bespoke accommodation which will substantially improve teaching and learning across vocational curriculum areas of catering, hospitality, tourism, beauty and hairdressing.
Similarly the new Engineering Building focuses on high tech, electronic and clean engineering and links to the existing automotive workshop.
