Durham Leadership Centre
A first class training and learning environment.
In September 2004 Durham County Council proudly opened a new purpose built Education Development Centre on the Enterprise Way site at Spennymoor, with good road links to the A688 and A1(M) and ample free parking within the grounds. The building is home to three services: Educational Psychology, ITSS and the Durham Leadership Centre.
As expected the new building has been designed with flexibility in mind and upstairs the Leadership Centre offers the discerning client a first class training and development environment. There are five training rooms (four for up to 25 people, one for up to 50 people) and a conference hall accommodating up to 120 people. All these are equipped with the latest technology. In addition there are three small meeting rooms (10/12 people).
Lunchtime catering is provided in the light and airy downstairs hospitality area with a varied selection of hot and cold food to choose from. Vending machines are available to supply teas/coffees throughout the day.
Anyone interested in taking a tour of the facilities or wanting to make an enquiry please email dlc@durham.gov.uk or contact the Centre Administrator, helen Turner tel: 01388 424861.
