Thurrock Learning Campus, Grays
The Thurrock Learning Campus will play a key role in increasing the
opportunities for local people to gain
the skills and knowledge needed to access high quality and well
paid employment. The 30,000 sq.m campus
will be a groundbreaking partnership between Further and Higher
Education and will provide opportunities
for adult community education and work based learning. The Campus
will feature a public piazza
with a cafe kiosk and outdoor seating and a range of facilities for
the whole town.
It is envisaged that the Southern High Street will become a
centre of outdoor activity with al fresco dining
and public seating, while offering the chance to expand the popular
street market north of the Town
Centre.
