Ambitious plans for Northampton College's new building in Daventry will be launched to the local community at public consultation events later this month.

Having appraised the options since its bid gained approval, the College is developing a planning application to build a completely new centre on its existing site at Badby Road West. This option has been deemed most appropriate to enable the College to retain sports facilities on site, develop an enhanced campus and provide a better learning environment for students.
