Background
Officially opened by HRH Princess Anne, the campus redevelopment formed part of Portsmouth’s two-phase initiative aimed at transforming further education and training in the city. This multi-million pound project is intended to open up employment and vocational training opportunities for school leavers and adults. Billed as the ‘flagship college for the south coast’, Highbury College also uses one of the largest ground-source heat pump installations of its kind in the UK, with 60 boreholes dug 80 meters deep into the ground.
