Putting sustainability at the heart of the new Walsall Adult and Community College
It was perfect timing for the newly-formed Walsall Adult and
Community College when funding was made available in 2009 for
leadership in sustainability by EAUC and the Learning and Skills
Improvement Service.
The result is a college built on sustainability from the top to
the bottom, from the inside out.
Work to incorporate sustainability into every aspect of the new
college – from learning venues to operations, to curriculum
delivery – has saved £400,000 in operating costs, while
staff are 15% more satisfied with college change programmes.
Through this core commitment the new college has been created with
environmental sustainability in mind, but with the long-term
sustainability of the college at its heart. And the results are
impressive.
