Harrogate College is set open a new £6m campus facilities this September.
There will also be a new bus service enabling easier access to the College on Hornbeam Park.
This will offer students the opportunity to travel on college transport from three Yorkshire towns straight to the College’s front door.
New and returning students who live in the Boston Spa, Wetherby and Spofforth areas will be the first areas to access the bus route provided by Harrogate College. The aim is to support the students and to provide ease of accessibility straight to the front door.
Students will be able to jump on the college bus for just £1 each way after completing a College Transport application form for a ‘yearly’ seat.
Harrogate College says it is about to enter the dawn of a new era. Following the redevelopment you will see brand new industry standard facilities such as the Bistro on the Park restaurant, the Image Academy hair and beauty salons, science laboratories and the dedicated Technology Centre.
For further information on the new bus route and how to apply for a seat, please contact oncourse@harrogate.ac.uk or call 01423 878211 to request a form.
