The Winn Building opens at Eastbourne College

Mr David Winn OBE, chairman of leading corrosion prevention and sealing specialists, Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd, has been recognised for his ongoing support of Eastbourne College with a building on campus named in his honour.

The Winn Building is a new, purpose-built facility featuring an array of state-of-the-art amenities, including multiple sport and fitness suites, function rooms, dining facilities and classrooms. The opening of the Winn Building, named in recognition of the College’s greatest living benefactor, signals the completion of Project 150 at the site in East Sussex, which saw a £33 million investment in the College campus to celebrate the school’s 150^th anniversary.
