Designed to Inspire

Further Education and Training (FET) refers to career-oriented education and training offered at technical colleges, community colleges and private colleges. The Tectura Group designed 16 FET colleges throughout South Africa, with almost all of them completed.

The proposal for the FET Colleges takes a radical new look at how education can be delivered in a learning environment designed for the 21st century. The courtyard design of the structures allows for various environmental benefits including natural lighting and passive ventilation. This not only aided in improving the education experience, but also reduce overall running costs as well. The large roof overhangs and bespoke sun-shading devices protect the buildings from excessive heat gain while giving the blocks a modern, contemporary feel.

The projects consist of learning spaces, administration blocks, library facilities, multi-purpose halls, nutrition facilities, workshops, storage areas and student accommodation facilities.
