PLUMPTON COLLEGE
THE ESTATE
The courses are all taught at Plumpton College (unless otherwise stated) which is situated in the centre of its own 567 hectare estate which has a commercial farm, horticultural and equine units and a vineyard, all of which are used extensively by students.
As the College is situated in a rural location, students are advised to travel by car. There are ample parking facilities available. Lewes is the most convenient railway station and there is a bus service from the railway station to Plumpton. A timetable should be consulted for exact times.
DESIGN STUDIO
The design studio, where all the lectures take place, is a new building fully equipped with drawing boards and computerized overhead projector, plan storage and coffee making facilities.
RESOURCES CENTRE
The Resources Centre (library with computers) has a range of horticultural books, magazines, etc. relating to all gardening topics. There is free access to the Internet and use of a computer for any necessary written work.
REFECTORY
The refectory can be used for all meals at a subsidized price where carefully prepared meals are cooked by the head chef, Julian. There is also a snack bar shop for coffee and sandwiches through out the day.
An old church lies at the centre of the college grounds. |
