The Construction & Trades Centre facility has been funded by the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
It has been designed by HNW Architects and will be built at the College's City College East Campus on Wilson Avenue.
The works are to be project-managed by Sussex-based business NorthGates.

Demolition of old structures on the site commences in November and construction work is to begin in January 2016.
The centre is scheduled to be completed by March 2017.
Nick Juba, City College's CEO, said: "We're delighted to be able to build such a vital new educational facility, something which the city can be proud of. We're very grateful for the support we've received from the Coast to Capital LEP and Brighton & Hove City Council to take this project forward. It will provide facilities in which the carpenters, builders, electricians and plumbers of the future can learn their skills in realistic working environments."
