The Creativexchange has been built within the Longsands campus located on a brownfield site. This was the first project regionally to have business / educational links with students of secondary age.

The Centre forms the gateway into the College site and provides an iconic flagship building for the campus.  Quite enigmatic and visually striking, the building is four storeys high with a concrete frame and a cantilever construction of wooden huts on each of the two higher levels. The internal space is flexible and has been designed for the different needs of the users. The Centre also benefits from a roof garden with spectacular views across Priory Park and the St Neots skyline.

The building design brief specified the ambition to have a building that inspired creativity. The internal floor space is split into communal and workspace areas; balancing requirements to maximise space. Each floor has made inventive use of natural light with natural finishes and textures.

Outside space, communal areas, lighting and artistic form play an important role in creating the right ambience and environment for successful growth and cultivation of businesses. The external appearance of the building provides an impressive statement; encapsulating artistic form and a professional business environment. 

The Creativexchange creates an inspiring image which businesses and students are proud to be associated with. We envisage the impressive design of the building will foster the exchange of creative ideas and assist the occupant business entrepreneurs turn their ideas into reality
