The new Engineering Centre - Coleg Llandrillo Rhyl campus

The centre will be a hub for delivering world-class education and training for the engineering sector and will enable you to develop skills supporting the future needs of industry, including those critical to the renewable energy sector, additive manufacturing and the digital transformation of industry.

The new, three-floor, 2,886m² facility will be packed with more than £2m worth of the latest in highly-specialised training equipment: from CAD computer design suites, through 3D prototyping machines, to computer-controlled, large industrial-scale metal-cutting CNC machines.

Included within this exciting development will be a new Institute for Renewable Energy Technology, in partnership with international company, RWE Renewables, which manages many renewable energy sites across the UK. A stand-out feature of the building will be a three-floor industrial-scale wind turbine servicing and maintenance hall.
