The two maps below show the site of a college in 2006 and the present day.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The two maps illustrate two phases in the development of Lynwich
College
with the second (the
college
as it currently is) showing a considerable expansion of
facilities
, albeit with some loss of natural habitat, from that of 2006. It is immediately noticeable that the
college
campus
has become more built up over the period, with the addition of a number of new
facilities
.
This
has come at the expense of the, leafier environment that was present in 2006. It is
also
clear that students can now choose from an extended range of transport options in order to access the
college
, with the car park being reduced to almost half of its 2006 size to allow for ample bike storage. The relocation of the
college
’s library and the construction of two new buildings – a cafeteria and a sports centre, which

.
While
in 2006 the
college
seemed to have only made provision for students travelling to the
campus
by car, now,
as well as
the designated area for bicycles, a bus parking bay has been created on the north side of the property with a new path leading to the
campus
.
Overall
, we can see that a great deal of development and renovation has taken place at Lynwich
College
, resulting in increased accessibility for students
as well as
improved sports and dining
facilities
. It is interesting to note though that the
college
’s educational
facilities
appear to have remained unchanged.
