Suffolk One is a sixth form college located in Ipswich in the English county of Suffolk. Opened in 2010, and a member of the South West Ipswich and South Suffolk (SWISS) Partnership, it provides further education in South Suffolk. The College was assessed as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in May 2015.
"Suffolk One is an exemplar development, which provides modern and flexible teaching facilities. The three storey 20,200 metre square building accommodates 2,200 students from Ipswich and South Suffolk and integrates several renewable energy technologies.
Due to the noise generated by the adjoining busy dual carriageway, it was not possible to use natural ventilation in the teaching spaces. The Mechanical and Engineering consultants, John Packer Associates,aimed to use low energy and sustainable technologies wherever possible to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions across the site, whilst maintaining comfortable internal conditions for academic development."
