The college, designed by LSI Architects, will be built by Kier in Dagenham, ELUTec.
The education facility aims to inspire young people in east London and Essex to become the 'next generation' of engineers and designers.
The college will be partially housed within the area of a former industrial unit.

A new Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) structure will provide a series of academic spaces over three-storeys, with a 'business like' frontage.
The lecture theatre will be positioned centrally in the main approach elevation, where it will project from the main façade to provide a single point of orientation.
The college is expected to open in September 2016.
Rupert Kitchen, Partner at LSI Architects, commented: "The technically-rich project based 'learning through doing' ethos is inherent in the design, and as such the workshops will be 'on show' and visible on arrival with oblique views available from a Forum area."
