Constructionarium

The sharp end of an engineer’s education. Whilst at Imperial College and working with John Doyle Construction, Chris and Ed conceived, designed and implemented the Constructionarium. This is a one week, site-based, down and dirty, multi award-winning educational program which gives hands-on experience of construction for undergraduate engineers.

Unlike other sorts of site “experience” the Constructionarium allows students to organise, resource, fund, and then actually do the construction work. The Constructionarium now involves the successful collaboration of dozens of companies and universities. Over half the undergraduate civil engineers in the UK now attend the Constructionarium as part of their degree course.
