Park Lane, located within easy walking distance of parks, cafes and shops, is an innovative place to study. Our state-of-the-art spaces enhance learning, a prime example being our STEM labs include a pharmacy space with consultation room and dispensary.
We’re committed to sustainability, and our ECO-POWR gym converts students’ energy into electricity which is used to power devices within the college.
In addition to the gym, students have spaces to relax and take a break from studies with room to read or catch up with friends over a game of table-tennis.
Our shape is expanding!
Our state-of-the-art C Block is now open! The home of Sport and Sixth Form Science, the brand new building features four modern classrooms, a sports studio, massage suite and three cutting-edge science laboratories.
There are many ways you can get to us.
Get some fresh air on your way to and from college – walking has many benefits from physical fitness to improved mental health. You can set your own pace and know that you’re doing your bit for the environment by walking into college.
Fun fact – a short daily walk can increase productivity by up to 30%. To explore more benefits and discover local routes, download our walking leaflet.
Coming from further afield, or wanting to beat the traffic? Cycling is a great form of exercise providing plenty of health benefits, as well as being kind to the environment. With secure cycle shelters at Park Lane you can lock up your bike, safe in the knowledge it will be waiting for you at the end of the day. We have shower facilities onsite so you can refresh after your commute.
Visit the Leeds City Bikes Scheme for more information about hiring a bike – this option may work out as more affordable than buying a bike, and is convenient if you don’t have storage at home for your own bike. And explore local cycle routes here!
Fun fact – regular cycling can improve sleep – improved sleep has a huge amount of health benefits.
With the train and bus stations within walking distance of Park Lane, public transport is more eco-friendly than driving and offers regular services within Leeds and to neighbouring towns and cities.

Fun fact – Leeds used to have a tram network – it was closed down in the late 50s. Trams are set to return to Leeds in 2030.
If travelling by car is your preferred method of transport, why not car share? It can save you money by splitting the cost of fuel and parking, is better for the environment in that it can reduce congestion and if you sign up for a lift share scheme you could make new friends.
Fun fact – car sharing can speed up your journey as it allows you to use the 2+ person lanes – handy at peak travel times.
Accessible via a number of major roads through Leeds, it is possible to drive to us, however, we encourage all staff and students to use alternative methods of transport where possible. There is no student parking available at Park Lane, except for blue badge holders, but there are a number of council-run paid car parks within walking distance of the campus. There are limited visitor spaces – visitors should request a parking permit from the college reception which they should display on their windscreen.
Fun fact – Our School of Sustainable Technologies and Motor Vehicle students work on real cars – including electric vehicles.
We may be able to help with the cost of travel to and from college. Please visit our Financial Support page for details.
