The sports area can be isolated from the main school building and become self-contained. It includes an all-day cafe, changing facilities, and a reception counter. 3. Background The school building and site were redeveloped and construction was completed in September 2012. Due to VAT exemptions the College is unable to commercially let the building until 3rd September 2022. St Ambrose College are therefore now evaluating various options for community letting.
