As a grade II* listed building, in line with English Heritage, many of the Roundhouse’s original features will be restored, maintaining the overall character of the building. The development will involve the restoration of the main Roundhouse building, which currently houses a central turntable used to move engines around when the Roundhouse was still in use for its original purpose of repairing steam engines, as well as the nearby newer buildings which will be developed as an annex. The new College site will be the new base for construction courses currently based at Masons Place on Nottingham Road and all courses at the College’s Prince Charles Avenue site except sport courses which will remain on the site providing a Centre of Excellence for Sport.
