The Centre will run a number of different short course and events, including bespoke training for companies and businesses.

Sustainability

In CEREB, wherever possible the materials used to construct the Centre will be from sustainable or recycled sources.

CEREB has been developed in partnership between London South Bank, City and Kingston Universities with funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), from the London Development Agency (LDA) and M&E Sustainability.

All three partner universities are leaders in education and research of the built environment. Students will be exposed to the range of technologies which the built environment needs to embrace in order to provide sustainable buildings for the future. They will have timetabled access to the Centre for modules on their related courses.

Research

Tall, gloss white units carrying electric shock hazard stickers fill this industrial looking, average sized, room. Pipes and cables are exposed on the ceiling and walls. The units have the appearance of very long fridge freezers and are part of CEREBS Ground Source Heat Pump system.

CEREB will have scope for many research projects including international collaborations.
