We've been on the same site in Twickenham since 1937 and in March 2020 we moved into a brand new state-of-the-art building.
With phase one of the redevelopment plans complete, phase two for our new Sports Centre and STEM Centre are due for completion in 2024.
How to get to here
We're easy to reach via public transport, with Twickenham Station a 15 minute walk away, and bus routes from Hounslow, Hammersmith and Kingston 5-10 minutes away.
If coming from Twickenham Station, cross the road at the traffic lights and turn right. At the next set of traffic lights, turn left onto Whitton Road. Follow the road to a large roundabout with Twickenham Rugby Stadium in front of you and turn left onto Chertsey Road (A316). As you follow the road, you will see the Richmond upon Thames College (RuTC) building on the left. Pass the building and turn left as if going towards Harlequins Stoop. Then left again to access the College. Find out how to get to RuTC with TFL Journey Planner.

STEM Centre - Phase two
Phase Two of our brand new technology-focussed STEM Centre (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) is underway and is due for completion in Summer 2024.
The merger between Harrow and Uxbridge Colleges with Richmond upon Thames College (HRUC - Harrow, Richmond and Uxbridge Colleges), will provide many more opportunities for students, with further expansion of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) provision through the West London Institute of Technology.
The STEM centre will provide a state-of-the-art environment for training in engineering and construction, science, forensic sciences, computing and robotics.
Take a look at the virtual tour below to see what it will look like inside, you can also watch a video of the construction of the STEM Centre.
