Wolves have announced massive new multi million pound plans to revamp their Compton training ground, which includes moving a school.
The whole project is expected to cost £50 million, with St Edmunds School next door being knocked down and rebuilt further down the road.
There’ll also be more than fifty new houses built there and the club reckons it’ll create 400 new jobs.
In a statement Wolves say it’ll spread education, sport and community benefits throughout the city: “The carefully co-ordinated plans have been prompted by the decision of the University of Wolverhampton to vacate its Compton Park Campus.”
“This has led to a unique collaboration between some of the main partners on Compton Park.”

The University of Wolverhampton re-investing in a new multi-million pound proposed Science facility on its City Centre campus.

55 new four and five bed executive homes to be built by Redrow Homes on the remainder of the University’s land, providing a large part of the enabling funding necessary to make the proposals happen.
The club is already spending 16 million rebuilding the North Bank at the Molineux, which itself is part of even bigger plans to eventually re-develop the whole stadium.
