Wiltshire College has awarded Willmott Dixon a £21m contract to develop a new building at one of the college's campuses.

The 9,100m2 building, which will be constructed at the Chippenham campus, will accommodate 1,000 full-time students and provide construction, engineering and motor vehicle workshops, new skills rooms including a sensory room for learners with disabilities, conference facilities and a Learning Resource Centre. The new campus will have ground source heating and photo voltaic panels and be ready for students in September 2015.
