In pictures: Norwich’s luminous Digi-Tech Factory will accommodate 500 students

Coffey Architects has completed a digital skills building for City College Norwich wrapped in a white powder-coated aluminium mesh screen.

Dubbed the Digi-Tech Factory, it contains 2,877sq m of teaching and social space for nearly 500 students, including robotics labs and digital studios as well as general classrooms and support spaces. With its distinctive form and materials, it will also act as a formal entrance to the campus.

It makes Norwich the first town to complete a project funded by the government’s Town Deal programme. Money also came from New Anglia LEP’s Local Industrial Strategy, the UK Digital Strategy and the Department for Education’s Adult Basic Digital Skills agenda.
