The Quad is described as a "state-of-the art digital skills and enterprise hub" which has been created as part of a wider academic campus in Telford's Town Centre.
This development is a collaboration between Telford & Wrekin Council, Harper Adams University, Telford College, and other partners which aims to retain local talent, to be the catalyst for creating careers in applied sciences, and the digital sector.
It is expected to host more than 300 students a year.
The council said the Quad will make a big difference to learners who live in the south of the borough, "offering an excellent, high quality education provision on their doorstep which is more easily accessible than the main Telford College and Harper Adams sites in Wellington and Newport".
Telford College will offer courses for up to 200 learners aged 16 to 18 at The Quad, providing new learning opportunities for them, as well as running a range of evening courses for adults.
Meanwhile, Harper Adams University is set to deliver a series of short courses from The Quad, before recruiting to a range of degrees to be taught at the new base, including Applied Data Science, Robotics, Automation & Mechatronics, Engineering Business Management, and Digital Manufacturing.
