The proposals for the City Learning Quarter campus have been supported by an initial £6.2 million investment from the City of Wolverhampton Council and Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership, which has enabled the completion of design work, site surveys, ground investigations, site acquisition and clearance. The council has also secured £20 million from the government’s Levelling Up Fund and £5 million from the Towns Fund to help deliver the City Learning Quarter vision, which is set to be complete in the 25/26 academic year.
