Thank you to  the organisations for opening their doors to our students and giving them such invaluable insights into such diverse career paths.

Those that visited the Lendlease Project Office had an eye-opening experience that left them all inspired by the possibilities of sustainable engineering. The students were introduced to a world where cutting-edge design meets environmental responsibility.

The Lendlease Project Office is a paragon of modern architecture, blending form and function seamlessly. The ingenuity of the building’s design lies in its commitment to sustainability. From the moment of arrival, it was evident that every aspect of the construction was meticulously planned to minimise environmental impact.

The tour highlighted several innovative features, such as the advanced water recycling systems and the use of renewable energy sources. The building’s façade, which incorporates natural ventilation and abundant natural light, not only enhances energy efficiency but also creates a pleasant and productive environment for its occupants.
