Plans for waterfront office building conversion to support college expansion

Leeds City College, part of Luminate Education Group (LEG), has submitted a proposal to convert the vacant Livingstone House office building at Leeds West Dock into an educational space. The six-story building, currently unoccupied, would be repurposed for both education and office use to accommodate Leeds City College’s expanding needs.

The conversion would help support the college’s growth strategy, enabling the facility to serve approximately 1,000 students. This move follows the college’s recent expansions, including the new Pudsey Sixth Form College and additional buildings at its Mabgate campus.

The project is expected to retain around 70 jobs and create more opportunities in the future. The planning statement highlights that the conversion aligns with local policies for sustainable economic development, benefiting the education sector and the local economy.
