Engineering Refurb BLC (Buxton and Leek College)

The University of Derby is equipping out the existing engineering workshops at their FE site, Leek Campus, Leek, ST13 6DP. There is a requirement at the centre for both machinery, teaching equipment and associated items enabling practical delivery of mechanical and mechatronics techniques.

The University needs to equip the machine and fitting workshops to upscale its capacity to accommodate classes of seventeen (17) students or more but stay within the realms of safe practices. This will require the provision of more vertical milling machines, teaching modules / equipment and tooling to carry out the process of teaching the practical skills required. In addition, it should provide a base of skill and understanding for all those students undergoing the programs of study involved.
