Construction Progresses on Wolverhampton’s City Learning Quarter Building

The roof of a prominent building within Wolverhampton’s new learning quarter has been installed, signaling the project’s entry into its next phase. Situated around the Old Hall Street and St George’s Parade area of the city, this facility will enable City of Wolverhampton College to relocate from its “outdated” Paget Road site. This building is the centrepiece of a £61m, government-supported scheme by City of Wolverhampton Council, designed to establish new educational provision across the city and wider region. The council confirmed that the building remains on schedule to welcome college students for the 2025/26 academic year. Work to install cladding, glazing, and internal fixtures will now commence as the development advances to its next stage. Chris Burden, the council’s cabinet member for city development, jobs and skills, commented: “The City Learning Quarter has been a long-held ambition of the city council and fantastic progress is being made by the contractors in the construction of this skills and education hub that will unlock future opportunities for all in the city.” The development is now a noticeable feature in the city centre and, once completed, is expected to act as a focal point, increasing footfall to support neighbouring businesses.
