Derby College Group is formed of four Colleges – the Roundhouse, the Joseph Wright Centre, Broomfield Hall and the Community College, Ilkeston. Each year the College caters for thousands of learners from pre-16 programmes to higher education students, apprentices, and adults learning new skills and career progression. Derby College is a major social, cultural and economic hub of the local community, aiming to create world-class, accessible education opportunities.
The Engine Room is a Grade II-listed former Derby Midlands Carriage Works and makes up part of the Roundhouse Campus on Pride Park. Derby College was keen to transform its historic building, which was once at the centre of the city’s railway industry, into a modern, innovative area to study and work through hi-tech development.
Derby College partnered with Fujitsu and appointed Scenariio directly to implement smart building solutions, reduce energy consumption and improve conditions for building users. Scenariio specified solutions from Mackwell to ensure the emergency lighting technology met the brief.
