A NEW “academy” based at Bradford College’s Trinity Green Campus has launched in partnership with a Yorkshire architects’ firm.

The partnership with Sheffield-based company Bond Bryan will give students the chance to gain real-world experience and insight into the architecture and construction industries.

Bond Bryan will also undertake workshops, site visits, and mentorship programmes for students across various courses in the College’s Construction & Engineering Department, immersing them in the day-to-day operations of a successful architecture firm.

As part of the partnership, a specially designed Bond Bryan base room has been designed and built in the heart of Trinity Green Campus. As well as serving as a purpose-built classroom to support T Level students, architects will use the facility to oversee new estate projects on site.

The Bond Bryan team has collaborated on various successful projects to date, including the design and construction of both the College’s David Hockney Building and Advanced Technology Centre.

Stephen Smith, Bradford College head of department for construction & engineering, said: “We’re thrilled with the exciting new partnership with Bond Bryan. This collaboration will provide valuable opportunities for students to gain real-world experience and insight into the architecture and construction industries.”
