It includes a range of state-of-the-art studios, modern teaching space, and bright exhibition areas.

A college spokesperson said the project represented the final stage in its £40m investment programme to upgrade its estate across Mansfield and Ashfield.

Dame Asha Khemka, principal, said: “I am immensely proud to see this centre come to fruition. The building has a real energy and buzz, and it’s great to see students working hard and enjoying their studies in this modern, 21st Century learning environment.”
