Costing £17.2 million it boasts:
* cutting edge ICT
* a library
* hall
* indoor and outdoor dining areas
* specialist science and technology areas

Costing £17.2 million it boasts:

* hall

* flexible teaching spaces
The school has however retained its original sports hall and the performing arts block - both of which were less than 10 years old. Staff and students were involved in the design of the new facilities and they took over the site in October.
Councillor Mike Longden, Derbyshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Education, said: "Springwell Community College is a true centre of excellence capable of meeting the needs of the modern curriculum - both now and in the future.
"It has brought enormous benefits for the pupils with flexible, inspiring learning spaces.
"It is also providing incredible opportunities for the whole community by being open for longer and providing access to adult education and better sports facilities."
The school has been transformed under a private finance initiative.
The work was carried out by Equitix Education (Derbyshire) and their contracted building partner Bowmer and Kirkland of Heage, Derbyshire.
The college will continue its celebrations to mark the official opening with a family fun day on Saturday 16th July.
