Concrete Elegance: Sustainable Education

The presentations for this evening feature recently completed educational buildings, each demonstrating ways in which concrete can be used sustainably.

University College London's new Student Centre by Nicholas Hare Architects and the Bobby Moore Acacemy, Secondary School, Stratford by Penoyre & Prasad Architects both use the thermal mass of the concrete structure for energy efficiency, but with different strategies to suit the specific needs and locations of each project. The design teams will be giving an insight into the design development of the projects, the specification and construction of visual concrete, but also the use of low carbon cement, recycled aggregates and design strategies to extend the usable life of the buildings.

The event is produced by The Building Centre and The Concrete Centre and is hosted by Elaine Toogood, Senior Architect at The Concrete Centre.
