Vision for new college Why there is a need for a new college? After a very successful three years, the is in a position to cement its position as one of s best colleges. Through the proposed modernisation of college facilities they look forward to further increasing the education standards of the borough to meet the growing skills gap and wider area demand. The proposed college redevelopment is not intended to simply replace outdated buildings, but rather develop new facilities on a modern and vibrant site that is fit for purpose, providing suitable accommodation for advanced technical courses. Over 2,000 of the students currently attending the college are Hammersmith and Fulham residents. With expected growth there is a greater level of demand for post-1 education from a population that has grown up within the borough. The focus and vision for the college is to provide a centre of educational excellence in supporting business and broadening employment opportunities for local learners. Aligned to the Hammersmith and Fulham Industrial Strategy, we will fulfil the local skills gap by becoming a leading provider of technical, vocational and academic education for local students. Higher Education Employer Engagement & Apprenticeships Further Education Vision International Excellence Ambition Mission To improve lives through education, training, skills and development fostering social and economic success.

Wilsons Road wlc.ac.uk Masterplan evolution It is intended that a hybrid planning application will be submitted with the college in full and the residential in outline. The proposals are for a comprehensive masterplan to deliver a new college, circa 0 new residential units and a series of high quality publicly spaces and routes. We are seeking to safeguard the masterplan and future residential development through design codes and parameter plans detailing height, massing and position of buildings to ensure the development and public space quality is high. The masterplan has continually evolved through consultation with both the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, and the Greater Authority. We have taken on board their feedback and comments to develop the masterplan. Comments and suggestions included: A building shoulder height consistent with Baron s Keep should be presented to the A. Height and massing should be pushed towards the centre of the site. Clear and legible north/south and east/west routes should be created along with public spaces. Residential frontage along the A needs to have regard to noise and air pollution. Consideration should be given to the existing trees on site, minimising tree loss and optimising opportunity for new tree planting. The listed wall should be retained.

High quality, inviting college entrance: creating key meeting and access areas. Spacious and safe external arrival area for the college. The masterplan seeks to retain the majority of existing trees, particularly along the A boundary, and enhance it further with additional planting and open clear routes. The existing tree line along the A, together with the enhanced soft landscaping to St Paul s Park will provide a natural screen to the A. A secure boundary wall will be provided between the site and St Paul s Court. The primary pedestrian entrance to the new homes and college is at the south-east corner of the site (for residents, the college and the public). The college has a clear entrance on the corner of the A and Gliddon Road. The site has green links with the north of the site and with Barons Keep. Increased public space including Way, a wide open route through the middle of the site. New public park - St Paul s park to the south. New gathering spaces in the heart of the development - St Paul s Place. Height similar to neighbouring buildings.
Masterplan The proposed massing reflects and is sensitive to the heights of neighbouring existing buildings and the surrounding area. The college building is designed as a single building block of five storeys, with two storeys on top set back. The north end of the building steps down to respect the residential units to the rear. x Denotes Building Storey Height 11.m 11m 1m Edith Road.m.m 2 Colet Gardens 8.m 11m 8m 11.m 11m 8.m m 1 11.m m 1.2m 22.m 2.0m 1.2m 8.m 22.m 22m 18m 1m 1m Gliddon Road 1.m 12m Gunterstone Road Great Church Lane 10 12 28m 1m 28.8m 28.8m 28.8m COLLEGE m 20 2m 1.2m 1.2m 22.m 22.m 22.m 20m 1.m 1.m A- Talgarth Road.m 2m 1m 1.m 1m 8.m 1m Building heights Transport, access and parking Transport, access and parking masterplan There will be up to 20 college car parking spaces, this includes disabled spaces, visitor spaces and 0 secure cycle parking spaces.
