I was over at West Kent College yesterday afternoon and, although the place is just a huge building site at the moment, I couldn't help but think that the college will be amazing when it's finished. Unfortunately that isn't likely to be until the back end of 2011, but it's going to be worth waiting for I reckon; after all they are spending a staggering £70 million on it's construction. I've seen the plans for the frontage of the new building and, from memory, they looked very impressive and modern, which may not please everyone but should at least make the amateur architects among us look twice. There will undoubtedly be more complaints about parking problems and the like, but I'm sure that most will be ironed out with sensible provisions for cyclists and pedestrians combined with good transport links into the town. I sort of pity the students who are there now though as they get all the grief of the building works and, most at least, are unlikely to still be there when the work is completed. So they don't get any of the benefit. That said, what a fantastic place it will be to leave for many future generations of students....
