PENWITH COLLEGE. NEW, WORLD CLASS
FACILITIES FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY
The redevelopment at Penwith has brought with it huge opportunity for the
development of new courses as well as enhanced facilities for existing courses.
All round, everyone benefits - the students, the staff and the community.
The centre of the campus is an amphitheatre providing space for
students to relax in as well as an outdoor performance area of theatre
and music events produced by College students and visiting arts
groups.
The large Gwenvor building bordering much of the amphitheatre
houses Automotive Engineering facilities including workshops for
fabrication, welding and paintwork. The centre of Gwenvor has a large
open space able to accommodate a two storey house for the new
construction trade courses available at Penwith.
The refurbished Old Grammar School retains much of its original
character whilst housing state of the art facilities for Art and Design,
Photography and Ceramics, in what is now the Nanjizal building.
2
Facilities for Hire
Penwith College has a range
of spaces available to hire
including our Lecture Theatre,
Sports Facilities including the
Synthetic Turf Pitch, Drama
Theatre, Exhibition Spaces and
an Outdoor Performance Area
(Amphitheatre).

I am delighted our students can now use these
buildings and the amazing facilities on offer.
Technical support is available
for audio visual equipment,
computer suites, interactive
white boards and video
conferencing. Penwith College
holds both entertainment and
alcohol licences and we can also

College, both in terms of proximity to the town centre, transport links
and the fabulous views that the College enjoys over Mounts Bay.
