Parkhall Integrated College Expansion Underway
Construction has gotten underway on a new £4.4 million expansion of Parkhall Integrated College, Antrim.
The Fresh Start Programme investment will further enhance the Parkhall Campus, which has already benefited from a £20.7 million new school which opened in January 2018 and accommodates 735 pupils.
Welcoming the start of work, Education Permanent Secretary Dr Mark Browne said: "Today is an important development at Parkhall Integrated College, as work officially gets underway on the provision of sixth form accommodation.
"This investment is only possible through Fresh Start funding from the UK Government for shared and integrated education. Regrettably, many similar Executive funded projects have needed to be paused due the limited funding available for education.
"The new sixth form facilities will benefit the school community as they prepare young people for life, work and citizenship in the 21st century and I am delighted to be able to mark this important occasion in the life of Parkhall Integrated College."
Dr Browne concluded: "I would like to thank everyone involved in this project for their hard work and commitment in getting it to this stage."
