Mayflower Campus

Where Learning Meets Community

As part of the Boston Town Deal, the Mayflower building is now open as a vibrant learning hub that redefines what a college can be. This flagship facility for young people and adults provides a dynamic space where students, businesses, and the wider community can connect, create, and innovate together. It offers state-of-the-art facilities for Higher Education, adult courses, and practical learning experiences across a range of subjects.

The open, welcoming, and nature-filled Mayflower includes spaces for voluntary services, careers advice, and skills development. It is home to University-Level students and Catering and Hospitality learners, featuring our on-site student-led fine-dining restaurant, Eden, and professional training salon, the Style Academy – both open to the public. The new café, 1620, also celebrates Boston’s maritime history, providing a community space for all to enjoy.

As a key part of the town’s economic relaunch, the Mayflower is designed to tackle low aspirations and skills gaps while supporting digital upskilling, enterprise, and innovation. With £9.9 million in Town Deal funding and over £6 million committed by Boston College, the project represents a major investment in both education and the wider community.

The Mayflower is already making a significant impact on the local economy: 39% of all construction orders were placed with local businesses, generating £567,800 for local suppliers and subcontractors, alongside £2 million in wider social value, benefiting the entire Boston area.
