Wales’ only clergy training college undergoes a £1.1m facelift
St Michael’s College is upgrading its historic listed building in Cardiff’s prestigious suburb of Llandaff in order to offer first-class facilities for students and to accommodate conferences.
The work will be carried out thanks to a £1.1m investment from the Church in Wales and began on 23rd June with a ceremony led by the Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan and the Principal of the College, Canon Dr Peter Sedgwick. They moved the initial stones in preparation for the construction company, Andrew Scott Ltd, to take over. It is hoped the work, which will include improving disabled access and installing en-suite facilities, will be completed by mid October.
Dr Morgan, who is chairman of the college’s Trustees, said the refurbishment would enable St Michael’s College to achieve its full potential. “The Church in Wales believes that investing in St Michael’s now will enable it to play its full part in the training of clergy and in providing a tranquil location for conferences right in the heart of Cardiff.”
