Art students have gone back to college in a ground-breaking new building that is among the most environmentally-friendly in the Westcountry.

The new White Building at Truro College has welcomed back art and design students with large teaching studio spaces, ceramics and kiln rooms, photography dark rooms and a large gallery space.

The £10 million college-funded project involved the creation of two buildings on an existing rugby pitch and the creation of a new replacement pitch at Polstein Farm nearby.

Energy efficiency has been prioritised through features such as ground source heat pumps and rainwater harvesting.
