College development for Second Site.
Telford College is one of Scotland’s largest further education colleges. The College has announced plans to relocate to 8.45 acres of SecondSite’s land. Edinburgh’s Telford College proposes to replace its existing four campuses with a single, £30m custom-built four-storey building by HOK Architects for the Edinburgh Waterfront area.
The largest new college to be created in Scotland for around 30 years, the £60m Telford College relocation package has received a £21m grant from the Scottish Further Education Funding Council (SFEFC). A planning application was submitted by HOK Architects for Telford College in 2003 and they intended the new Telford College building to be completed for summer 2005.
HOK Architects are based in London but are headquartered in the USA. This is the only HOK Architects project currently known about in Edinburgh. HOK are one of the major US Architects that work in the UK with Gensler, KPF and SOM being the other well-known US Architects here. KPF have produced the Glasgow Harbour Masterplan and Gensler Architects (one of the largest, and for some years THE largest practice in the World) have worked on Edinburgh's New Street Edinburgh project.

Miller has bought three sites totalling 26 acres from Telford College, and hope to build about 800 private & affordable residential units.
Telford College is building a £60m campus on a ten-acre site at Granton, the largest (30,000 sqm) purpose-built college in Scotland for 30 years on the former gasworks site acquired from Second Site Properties. The four-storey building designed by HOK Architects is due to be complete by summer 2005, for 20,000 students & 600 staff.
