Client: Hopwood Hall College The Hopwood Hall College refurbishment project revitalised the Middleton Campus, originally built in 1953, by modernising its learning spaces and relocating key departments, including business, travel, accounting, and ICT. The renovation aimed to enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of the campus, providing upgraded classrooms, staff rooms, and a state-of-the-art Media Makeup classroom.
