"We are extremely pleased to be collaborating with Harlow College on this project. It provides an excellent example of how further education and higher education can work together to provide seamless education. This centre will be of significant benefit, it will provide a new focus for education in Harlow encouraging innovation and aspiration. The centre will benefit local people and, of course, the local economy."

"I know that the town recognises that this will be a wonderful opportunity for its community, I am particularly delighted that Robert Halfon MP will be 'cutting the turf'. I am sure that the ground breaking event will be an important milestone for the future of education in Harlow... if only I could be as certain about the weather!"
