More detail has been released about a new sixth form opening in the city centre next year.
The new location of the Beauchamp City Sixth Form was confirmed in December last year but little detail was given about the facilities.
The new site will open in the former BT call centre in New Albion House in Dunkirk Street, and in the adjacent Wellesley House in Wellington Street.
The trust that runs the sixth form, Lionheart Academies Trust, has announced that the refurbishment will include the creation of 33 classrooms and 11 laboratories.
The new sixth form will also include a learning resource centre, as well as ICT suites and private study spaces.
Lionheart Trust also runs schools such as Beauchamp College in Oadby, Judgemeadow Community College in Evington and Humphrey Perkins School in Barrow-upon-Soar.
The work to refurbish the buildings, being undertaken by construction company ISG, is set to start in November 2019, and the college is set to open its doors to students in September 2020.
The new centre will provide 350 places for A-level students and will offer a full range of post-16 courses for Beauchamp students and pupils from other schools.
On behalf of Lionheart Trust, principal designate, James McKenna said: "We are delighted to be working with ISG to provide young people in Leicester City with the highest quality education to secure opportunities at the most prestigious universities and access to Higher Level Apprenticeships.
"We look forward to enhancing the life chances of our students through our traditional, academic curriculum and a commitment to the holistic development of each individual."

Wayne Flannery, ISG's regional director for the Midlands, said: "Delivering an entirely new sixth form college in the heart of Leicester city centre is a project that will derive a long-term legacy for the local community and wider city region.
"It's clear to see the positive social value generated by projects of this nature, and this brings a real passion and singularity of purpose from our extended team to deliver an outstanding result for The Lionheart Trust.
"By working closely with the Trust, we have all been inspired by its vision for a new standard in post-16 teaching facilities and there is great anticipation as we move forward with the meticulous planning stages ahead of our start on site later this year."
