Our South Yorkshire IoT campus

Transforming education

In a wonderful story spanning 92 years, our Church Street campus – formerly Barnsley Mining and Technical College – will be sensitively transformed into a modern, technology-rich IoT to retain and enhance the classic architecture inside and out complemented with the latest innovations in construction and technology.
