Project Summary
Linking to the current SITraN site, the intention is to build an adjoining building that will include teaching classrooms, laboratory space, open space offices, individual workspaces, specialist and general stores and social learning spaces.
The building will have 2 storeys from the main road, and a 3rd storey at the rear (which allows for the slope of the site away from the road).
The site which is where Glossop Road and Clarkehouse Road meet, and is currently occupied by Barber House Annexe, some storage units and garages.
A single storey glass link walkway will run behind Barber House to connect the existing SiTran building with the new facility.
