New £5.6m Outdoor Education Centre for Exeter

18th May 2011

Devon County Council have announced plans for a £5.6m outdoor education centre to replace the existing Haven Banks Activity Centre located on the quay in Exeter. Exeter College will run the centre on a day-to-day basis and it will aim to provide outdoor adventure activities for young people and adults from all over Devon. John Hart, leader of Devon County Council, said: "This is another major investment in Exeter by Devon County Council which will only serve to boost the economy of the city. It is a major boost for Exeter and I am delighted that we have been able to enter into a long-term partnership with Exeter College to run the whole operation." Work is scheduled to be completed by spring 2013.
