College Principal, Audrey Cumberford, who is also a member of the Paisley 2021 Partnership Board, said:

“As a key supporter we are absolutely convinced that the bid process itself has been inspirational and provides the foundations for a cultural, economic and reputational transformation of the town. The entire project has been uplifting and has united the town and wider community. It has given us all a glimpse of how culture can improve Paisley in so many ways.

“This is not the end of the journey.  As one of the town’s main institutions, with a presence spanning more than seventy-years, we remain committed to seeing to fruition the many outstanding ambitions outlined in the bid. 

“It is our hope that these will be complemented by our own exciting plans to redevelop our Paisley campus into a centre for excellence for teaching and learning, as well as a state-of-the-art hub for local businesses and communities.”
