Project Ambition: Transforming Uxbridge College

Exciting changes are coming to Uxbridge College. Project Ambition is a bold, once-in-a-lifetime transformation designed to create a state-of-the-art, sustainable, and inspiring campus for our students and staff.

Look out for updates as we bring this exciting vision to life!

  • Our visionary project

    This visionary project will enhance key areas, including:

    • A revitalised reception area
    • A modernised Mall
    • A refreshed Refectory
    • Reimagined outdoor spaces (front and courtyard).

    The project team is also exploring improved pedestrian areas, and the overall design aims to be both functional and visually appealing, with landscaping and seating.

    The project team is in the process of reviewing layout options, and the integration of garden / green spaces.

    We’re actively gathering input from students and staff to shape the future of our campus—ensuring it reflects the values, innovation, and excellence of our community.

    The project will be developed with the intention of minimising disruption to campus users and our wider community.

  • Campus Entrance and Exit Routes

    There will be important changes to vehicle access at Uxbridge Campus, effective from Tuesday, 22nd April (after the Easter break). These changes are being introduced to ensure the safety of all College students, staff, and visitors, and to clearly define pedestrian and vehicle routes in and around the campus.

    Key Changes:

    • All vehicles (staff, students, visitors, parents, taxis/Ubers) must enter via Gatting Way through the rear/large car park entrance.
    • No vehicle access through the Park Road entrance, except for select deliveries and emergency vehicles.
    • Disabled bays (front car park) and electric car charging bays (near K Block) are still accessible, but entry must be via Gatting Way.
