Bolton College has marked a momentous milestone with the official opening of our new £5 million Engineering & Digital Centre.

This innovative facility reflects our commitment to providing cutting-edge learning environments for our students and supporting the needs of the industries we serve. The Centre stands as a testament to the collaboration and shared vision of everyone involved in bringing this project to life.

We were privileged to welcome the Mayor of Bolton, who officially opened the Centre with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, along with our Chair of Governors, Andrew Roberts, and other governors who have been steadfast in their support. It was also a pleasure to have George Holmes, Vice Chancellor of the University of Greater Manchester, join us, alongside reporters from The Bolton News and some of our valued employers, who play a key role in shaping our curriculum and supporting our students' success.

Following a tour, guests enjoyed refreshments and drinks prepared and served by our talented Hospitality, Catering & Event Management students, highlighting the breadth of skills being developed across our College.

A special thanks goes to our Deputy Principal, Mark Burgoyne, who has led this project from inception to completion, ensuring every detail aligns with our vision. 

At the heart of this project are our students. This Centre will give them access to world-class facilities, enabling them to gain hands-on experience and develop the skills needed for thriving careers in digital and engineering industries.
