BRIDGWATER College Academy has applied for permission to build a new ‘Hub’ building as it looks to expand.

The new ‘Hub’ building is planned as a central entrance for the three campuses at the academy; the Polden, Quantock and Sedgemoor campuses.

Somerset County Council has identified that 300 additional secondary school places were required to meet the increasing demand.

Bridgwater Mercury:

The building will feature a lobby, reception, meeting room, administration office and a number of science and general classrooms.

The existing science block will be refurbished for art and general classrooms.
