IT is the end of an era for the old Wiltshire College building in Salisbury.

The building on Southampton Road has been demolished - leaving just a pile of rubble behind.

Pictures sent in by the Journal's camera club members capture the demolition work in progress.

This comes as Wiltshire College and University Centre has completed the revamp of its Salisbury campus as part of a £14m redevelopment project.

The project has involved the demolition of the previous central building on Southampton Road and the construction of a new three-storey campus building.

The refurbished site will welcome new students for the first time when the 2021-22 academic year begins in September before being officially launched at a special ceremony next spring.

The new building comprises science and engineering labs, construction workshops, a TV studio, canteen facilities and conferencing space alongside a welcoming modern entrance.

This project is part of over £24m of investment secured through the SWLEP to increase Further and Higher Education provision at the College on its Salisbury and Lackham sites.

Additional to the work at the Salisbury campus, more than £9 million is also being invested at the College’s Lackham campus to build a new Agricultural Technology Centre, the development of a higher education centre, and the installation of a robotic milking parlour, which will also open ahead of the new academic year.
