The Bradbury Centre

The Bradbury Centre is a purpose built IT and resources centre located at the heart of the college. The main objective of the centre is to provide a facility for students to access the information they want at a convenient time and with the appropriate levels of support. Since opening in March 2006, it has been a busy and vibrant area during teaching and break times, as well as in the evenings and more recently at weekends.

The centre offers creative and exciting new technologies as well as the expertise to use the equipment effectively for teaching and learning to support both staff and students in advancing their ICT curriculum skills.

There are two fully equipped rooms including an open library area, video-conferencing facilities and multimedia workstations which can be used by students in their free time to surf the net, catch up on emails or plan a trip out. The main room also provides flexible teaching and learning spaces for groups which are used by vocational departments during the working day.   

The reception area houses the library where students can browse a range of materials including books, magazines and audio books.  Students are able to borrow materials from the library independently by using the fingerprint recognition system.

The Bradbury Centre also provides a setting for professional development programs and staff training.  Centre staff are always on hand to support staff and students in using the latest assistive technologies.
