Head of Area Ursula Jeziorski added: “The contractors were brilliant in the construction of the new project and ensured neither students, staff nor animals were disrupted during the development and we stayed fully operational throughout the project.

“We can now look forward to moving our animals into their new housing and enclosures over the coming weeks.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to be involved in the design of the new habitats and will enable us to do so much in terms of course development, research and many other public services in the years to come.”

As well as extending and improving the current building, the project saw hundreds of square metres of existing buildings demolished to make way for the new facility which is the latest phase of a multi-million pound redevelopment of college facilities.
