Sustainable Construction - Schools programme

We understand that the future lifeblood of a successful built environment is an interest, knowledge and understanding from future generations.  Working in partnership with industry practitioners and education specialists we have developed a range of innovative learning experiences for 11-16 year old students, which focus on innovative methods of construction, renewable energy and building sustainable communities.

From tours around the state of the art SmartLIFE centre, looking at IMC building materials and renewable energy, to a full days training in the centre or at your school.  SmartLIFE will help you deliver your sustainable learning needs in conjunction with your curriculum programme.
