I knew I didn\u2019t want to stay at school at the age of 16 to study A Levels; I simply wanted to draw and create, so when my teacher arranged for me to visit a local architect\u2019s office I simply didn\u2019t want to leave their premises. They offered me an apprenticeship and I worked for them and attended my local college one day a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carshalton College\u2019s principal Peter Mayhew-Smith said the centre will transform the learning environment, enabling students to make the most of opportunities in construction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur new TEC Centre should transform learning for our students. We now have industry-standard spaces and equipment on a huge scale with opportunities for them to immerse themselves in the crafts and trades they love.
