Wiltshire College is a tertiary college of education founded in 2002 by the merger of Chippenham Technical College, Lackham College and Trowbridge College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Chippenham, Lackham and Trowbridge Colleges (Dissolution) Order 2000 )〕 Consolidation was completed with the merger of Salisbury College, which commenced in January 2008. The college has over 3000 full-time students and 300 teaching staff. ==Locations== *Wiltshire College Chippenham was founded as North Wilts College of Further Education and later changed its name to Chippenham Technical College, and again to Chippenham College in 1993.〔 It offers a wide range of vocational courses and qualifications specialising in engineering, commerce and construction trades. Its buildings are in Cocklebury Road, close to the town centre and railway station. In 2013, the college entered a public consultation on its proposal to invest £21 Million to redevelop its Chippenham Campus, with new facilities to be built on land behind the existing buildings. The new building will include workshops for motor vehicle, engineering and construction trades as well as hair and beauty studios, art studios, sports science lab, sensory room, learning resource centre and classrooms. The new campus is scheduled to open in September 2015. The campus's most recent OfSTED report assessed it as good. *Wiltshire College Lackham is based close to Lacock and opened in 1946 as a purely agricultural college.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Wiltshire College Lackham celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2006 )〕 It has a working farm to allow students hands-on experience of the rural economy, and also hosts a Museum of Agriculture and Rural Life.〔 The college offers a number of extramural courses to non-students and also has a full programme of public events throughout the year, such as flower shows, equestrian, and related events. Following the 2001 UK foot and mouth disease outbreak which limited access to many UK farms, a "Virtual Farm" was opened in 2004 to provide continued education should access to the college farm be restricted again in the future.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Cyber Cows and Virtual Sheep at Lackham Farm )〕 The college holds an annual Lambing Weekend where local children can see at first hand lambs being born.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Lambing in Lackham )〕 *Wiltshire College Trowbridge, in College Road, offers a wide range of vocational courses for school-leavers, and is associated with the ''Arc Theatre''. *Wiltshire College Salisbury was formed in 1992 as the merger of the College of Art & Design & the Technology College.
