East Durham College, Houghall Campus, Durham: £12.75 Million Phase One Redevelopment HD

Copyright East Durham College 2016 © Our Houghall Campus, in Durham, has recently undergone an exciting £12.75 million redevelopment. The project was part-funded by the North East LEP (Local Enterprise Partnership). As well as an extensive and challenging refurbishment of the main entrance front building, which was built in 1937/8, the completion of the project saw a number of stunning new facilities open; including a brand-new small animal care centre, agricultural centre, equine centre, brand new science labs and IT suites, and new enhanced access and parking facilities. The purpose-built Small Animal Care Centre houses a range of small mammals, birds, reptiles and aquatics - as well as a new commercial dog grooming salon and 22-bay dog kennel unit, complete with dog agility and dog walking areas. The stunning new Houghall Equine Centre boasts a 28-stable block accommodation, training workshops, tack room, automatic horse-walker and an international-standard 40m x 40m indoor arena to complement an existing 60m x 40m all-weather menage, cross-country trail, schooling field and 20-acre paddock. The new Agricultural Centre includes a pig unit and cattle unit with forage store to supplement the existing sheep unit down at the farm site. Each new and refurbished building also boasts additional classroom/workshop space, staff and student changing facilities and welfare support areas.
