The Steel Construction Institute, the University of Cambridge and The Building Centre would like to invite you to Steel and the circular economy: steel reuse and design for deconstruction. This event is split into three parts:
1. Dissemination of the findings from their recently completed Innovate UK study into structural steel reuse
2. An update on some related reuse and circular economy projects
3. Workshop: a more detailed workshop focusing on the philosophy and practicalities of design for deconstruction and reuse of multi-storey steel buildings.
