In recent years Solihull College & University Centre has expanded its Woodlands Campus in an £8.5million redevelopment to include a new state-of-the-art centre for engineering, construction and motor vehicle – enabling students to learn in an environment with world-class facilities. These facilities include twelve workshops; six for construction and six for motor vehicle and accommodate an MOT workshop, an engine workshop and further rooms for decorating, plastering and brickwork.
The newest additions to the campus are the aircraft and flight simulator, which allow students studying aerospace engineering to get hands on experience as part of their courses.
