Today we had a tour of the new building, Zennor. We had to go through a health and safety induction due to the fact that the building is not yet complete. We were all given hard hats and high vis vests to wear and when we got into the building we had to put on shoe covers, as well as being shown an induction film with information about the project given to builders. It was interesting seeing how they deal with the induction, having a film always ready to show rather than a person giving the talk. In my opinion this is better because not only does the information feel easier to take in, but it also allows for the health and safety induction guy not being in to give the induction to new contractors and site visitors.

The building itself it really nice. The entire thing seems more thought out than the current building, as well as having an amazing view of Penzance and Mounts Bay. They have rooms equipped for all the vocational courses, like the catering room that comes fully kitted out with what seems like a full restaurant catering kitchen, and the theater that has an outdoor performance area, a large indoor performance area and the lecture theater's walls open creating a stand for the audience. Since the building isn't finished yet and we still use the computers in this building, they haven't been moved over to Zennor yet, but our room is pretty cool, it has one of the best views of the bay in the building and blackout blinds for when we watch films or do presentations.
