Green Gown Awards 2013 - Construction and Refurbishment - Nottingham Trent University - Finalist

Saving space in science

The Rosalind Franklin refurbishment has been a cornerstone in the School of Science and Technology teaching and learning facilities at Nottingham Trent University (NTU). Design and planning have accommodated maximum utilisation and minimum impact on the surrounding environment throughout the project.

NTU’s ability to integrate modern technology into the refurbished teaching laboratory, and maintain a practical student experience, is quite original throughout the sector.

Facilities enabling multiple classes to be taught simultaneously and building material reuse highlight NTU’s commitment to improving utilisation and resources, as well as providing the infrastructure to ensure a first class teaching experience is available to all students.

Rosalind Franklin has trialled and tested the compatibility of technology in a working environment and as a result of the success the system is being rolled into other schools creating new learningenvironments and atmospheres.
