Since its opening in 2000, The Communiversity has changed from an old person’s home into a Lifelong Learning Centre with a fine reputation as a quality education provider and community resource.

There have been many changes to the building including the addition of a large Conference Room, ICT Suite, a Crèche,  Recording Studio and a Theatre. Take a look at the Facilities page for more information and to find out about hiring the rooms.

The Communi-Café provides healthy lunches and snacks for all staff, students and visitors to the centre. They also provide catering for meetings and functions that take place here. The food is second-to-none as the popularity of the café proves.

We pride ourselves on the quality of training and facilities here at The Communiversity and we are always updating and improving our services and facilities.

The Communiversity is fully accessible with automated doors and a lift to the first floor.

We work with other organisations to provide education and employment opportunities to residents of the Alt Valley.  Together, we provide a holistic strategy to regenerate communities and offer local residents, of all ages, a better future!
