Northampton College has received £1.9 million in government funding to improve facilities across its three campuses, as part of the wider £302 million Plan for Change initiative targeting further education.
The investment will support upgrades to the college’s estates at Booth Lane and Lower Mounts in Northampton and Badby Road West in Daventry. The improvements are intended to modernise learning environments and support curriculum delivery for the 10,000 students.
This funding aligns with the government’s strategy to equip further education institutions with the infrastructure needed to train future skilled workers. The broader programme aims to address outdated college estates and ensure educational spaces meet modern demands, focusing on removing barriers to opportunity and supporting economic growth through skills development.
The funding signals continued government backing for vocational and technical education—an important pipeline for workforce development. It also opens potential opportunities for local suppliers and contractors involved in construction, technology, and campus services.
