Acting on behalf of Nottingham College, FHP has recently represented the college in the sale of the Arthur Mee Centre in Stapleford.
Following completion of the college’s new £5.4 million purpose-built centre for students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities (SLDD) named ‘The Gateway’, FHP has concluded the sale of the Arthur Mee Centre.
The funds raised from the sale have contributed towards this bespoke Grade A facility located at the college’s Basford site. The Gateway centre for supported learners opened in February 2025 and provides the very latest standards in specialist teaching and learning resources for special educational needs education.
Phil Daniels of FHP commented:
“The Arthur Mee Centre, a former Victorian school property, comprised nearly 20,000ft² on 1.6 acres and proved very popular when we launched it onto the market.
We had strong interest from a range of parties including developers and existing users but in particular from the private educational sector. The property was sold to the Outcomes First Group, a provider of special educational needs training.”
Gary McGinty, Head of Estates and Capital Development at Nottingham College commented:
“We thank FHP very much for their support on the sale of the Arthur Mee Centre. We achieved a great result which will benefit our supported learning students at Nottingham College. A great job efficiently executed by the team at FHP.”
The purchaser, Outcomes First Group, were represented by Jack Murray at Jaxxons Group, a specialist surveyor representing businesses in the special educational needs sector.
