The facilities that are available at college are a hugely important part of our student's education and partly what makes us different to school.
We are preparing our students for their future careers and that means training them in a suitable environment with industry standard facilities.
New Sports and STEM Centre
Our Richmond upon Thames College campus is an inspiring, dynamic place to learn, create, and grow. Our industry-standard facilities are designed to give you hands-on, real-world training, setting you up for success in your future career. We’re not just another classroom—we’re a launchpad for your ambitions! Our brand-new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) and Sports Centres are now open.
