Centre for Digital Technologies (Basildon Town Centre)

South Essex College’s Centre for Digital Technologies in Basildon town centre is complete and ready to welcome students, as soon as Covid-19 restrictions allow.

The Centre for Digital Technologies houses state-of-the-art facilities and equipment for students on courses with a tech focus including IT networking, app development, games design and animation. The three-storey project has been built on the previous market site thanks to a partnership between Basildon Council, Homes England and South Essex College.

Areas of the building have been modelled on tech sector offices, giving that innovative ‘Google’ feel to a lot of the open plan spaces. Students will be able to experience working in this kind of modern environment, preparing them to enter the industry.

Are you an employer from the digital technology or IT sector? Have you got a skills gap you’d like to address? Want to work with us on this exciting project?
