A major new Joint Cadet Centre is being built in Northampton.
The new build at the Clare Street Army Reserve Centre will bring together seven Cadet Detachments under one roof.
Due to the building’s size, the multi-million-pound facility has been described as a ‘Super Centre’ – the first of its kind in the East Midlands.
Wing Commander Carl Wilson, Officer Commanding of South and East Midlands Wing RAF Air Cadets, said: “This new Joint Cadet Centre is a powerful investment in the young people of Northampton.
“Bringing the RAF Air Cadets and Army Cadet Force together strengthens our partnership and opens the door to new opportunities, shared training and a richer Cadet experience.
“For 5F Squadron, this modern facility will be transformative – a fresh, purpose-built home that inspires ambition and supports Cadets to achieve their very best.”
Portakabin has been appointed to deliver the new facility at the rear of the Clare Street site, replacing three smaller buildings currently located there.
When it is completed in 2026, the U-shaped modular build will feature two drill halls, classrooms, storage and office space and a covered outdoor training space.
