Clegg Construction pre-construction director Ross Crowcroft said: “This project will provide significant new facilities for the area in terms of learning and development. We have pledged to support the local community in a number of ways during the duration of this project as part of our commitment to the communities that we work in.

The Maltby Learning Trust is restoring the historic building with plans to provide space for training and apprenticeships, bookable workstations and start-up assistance for the leisure and hospitality sectors.
The repurposed structure will also expand Maltby Learning Trust’s Post 16 specialised facilities for the Maltby and Sir Thomas Wharton academies’ sixth form provision students.
Maltby Learning Trust CEO David Sutton said: “This is an exciting time for Maltby Learning Trust and this project will see us taking a building that hasn’t been occupied for nearly a decade and creating an inclusive multi-functional space that will host a series of community events and learning activities.”
Rotherham Council secured this refurbishment project as part of a successful bid to the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund. The funding for the project is £4.5m.
