Head of Llysfasi Elin Roberts said staff will be teaching on-site from late November.

She said: "The new building is looking fantastic, it has really come together, and we are looking forward to it opening.

"This is the latest investment at Llysfasi and there is more to come as we continue to lead on advances in precision agriculture and land-based education.

"The facilities are incredible, and I know the learners and staff are excited to get in there.

"Read Construction has been brilliant, and their workers have become part of the community here, planting trees, landscaping, and even placing time capsules from the college and nearby Ysgol Pentrecelyn within the walls of the structure – we are very thankful to them."

Site manager Paul Izzard said the project has remained on target despite challenges with bad weather.

He said: "The building is nearing completion and looks brilliant; our team has done an amazing job and everything is on track to be completed and open in November.

"We know what an important facility this will be for the students, staff and also the community here, and we are privileged to have been able to deliver it for them."
