It is part of a £63m redevelopment plan that the college will take to the Northamptonshire Learning and Skills Council, at the end of the month.

Corby university plans gather momentum
May 11, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
Space has been designated for a university campus as part of the new £20m Tresham Institute campus to be built in Corby.
Tresham and partner Corby Council have put in a bid for the site of Corby Community College from the county council, which owns the 16-acre site off Oakley Road.
Most of the land will be used for the Tresham campus, which will relocate from its current base in George Street, but a portion of the site, near the rail station in Station Road, will be set aside for the university.
The move has been made possible as the current secondary school on the site is closing and pupils will be transferring to the brand new Corby Business Academy, due to open this September.
