About the project

The replacement Animal Centre at New College Swindon creates safe, daylit teaching rooms alongside biosecure viewing and care zones. Layouts separate student circulation from animal care routes, improving welfare, supervision and hygiene. Durable, easy‑clean finishes, robust services and ample storage support daily practical teaching and demonstrations.

AEC guided the scheme from funding bid to planning and Building Regulations approval, coordinating specialist requirements and documentation while providing administrative support to keep approvals and procurement on track.
