For the second year in a row
students from Glasgow Caledonian University have won the
Chartered Institute of Building’s Student Challenge Final.
This year’s challenge saw the students propose a design and build brief for a hypothetical new terminal at Manchester Airport – Terminal 4. The teams were asked to create an ‘Intelligent Airport’ that considers the whole life cycle of the building. There had to be recognition of the current construction improvement agenda relating to Building Information Modelling and the wider use of digital technologies, the importance of quality design and the pivotal role of sustainability. |
