At Oaklands College in Hertfordshire, members of our design team from Carter Design Group and our construction team, briefed a sustainability challenge to over 70 students from Oaklands College.

Based on the new Construction Centre on the St Albans campus we have recently handed over, students were asked to imagine a similar building being built, outlining how they would make it as sustainable as possible.
Students from T Level courses Building Services Engineering and Design, Surveying and Planning, as well as Level 3 Plumbing, Electrical, and Construction and the Built Environment all took part, presenting back in small teams a week later.All the students did an excellent job, highlighting a range of ideas from air source heat pumps and solar, to use of infra red taps and green roofs; clearly they had all done their research! Well to everyone that took part.
