The new Skidelsky Building, due for completion in 2010Brighton College Development Plan
Brighton College has never been a school to stand still or rest on its laurels. In its long history it has always pioneered new ideas, led debate and, at various times, set the education agenda. However, Brighton is not a wealthy school and cannot rely on an investment portfolio created by the founding fathers. In order to maintain its beautiful Victorian buildings and provide first class modern facilities the school has to run a ‘tight ship' but also to seek the financial support of parents, former pupils, friends and generous institutions.
In recent years Brighton College has invested millions of pounds in new buildings and refurbishing existing facilities. Among recent additions to the site are the Confucius Institute (Mandarin Chinese), the Sixth Form Centre (a study centre, careers library, lecture theatre and common room), the Alexander Visual Arts Centre and the Sammy Woods Pavilion (cricket and rugby).
A new Development Office has been created to implement an exciting Development Plan which will spearhead a new era of building and refurbishment on the College campus. The office will also seek new funds for bursaries so that more children can benefit from the extraordinary Brighton College experience long into the future.
Work has already begun on the four-storey Skidelsky Building, which will house a Design Technology School, a new English Department and a home for the Lower School pupils. For more information about this project, please see the Skidelsky Building page.
