Welcome to our Weekly E-Bulletin

Last week saw a perfect example of how construction does not just deliver great landmark buildings, but how it can play a role in creating dynamic learning environments that transform lives, communities and leave a lasting legacy.

Morriston Comprehensive, which we report on in this week’s newsletter, is a high priority for Swansea, but projects like it should be a priority right across the country is we are to give Wales the economic, social and environmental infrastructure it needs to rebuild itself and take ourselves out of recession.

An Education Exemplar

A few weeks ago we talked about how Welsh Local Authorities are seeking to improve C21st School Design and we focussed on the work being done by CLAW. But last week saw the perfect opportunity to learn about what is possible at a workshop put on by the City and County of Swansea to showcase its work at Morriston School. The £22M scheme represents one of the highest priority projects in Swansea's Quality in Education (QEd) 2020 Programme and the Welsh Government 21st Century Schools Programme.

The initiative is not just about building a new school. It seeks to transform learning environments for children and young people while at the same time offering economic regeneration opportunities for the local community.
