Multiplier workshop in the project ‘NABASO – Sustainable Training in Construction and Social Services’ The NABASO team at the UNESCO Chair for Vocational Education, Competence Development and the Future of Work at TU Dortmund University, together with the project manager at ABZ Hamm, developed a concept for a practice-oriented BBNE multiplier workshop, which took place in Hamm on 11 September. Based on ideas for ‘sustainable construction’, the trainers planned sustainability-oriented training projects for building construction, civil engineering and finishing, which are now being tested at ABZ Hamm and accompanied by coaching and evaluation. Together with sustainability experts, the trainers will act as multipliers in further workshops, so that the work-based acquisition of sustainability skills (work-based learning) will also be tested in further workshops for trainers from all North Rhine-Westphalian training centres in the construction industry. Lenya Schneehage, Lara Sakowsky, Frank Pachura, Gunther Sibilski, Christoph Suntrup, Yoke-Lee Roth, Aykut Kocabas, Dr. Sonja Herzog – thank you very much for this exciting and productive day! We are delighted to be working with NABASO to promote sustainable, future-oriented training and look forward to the next steps! #Sustainability #BBNE #Construction #ConstructionIndustry #SocialServices #Training #IntercompanyTraining #NIB #TUDortmund #ABZHamm #ParitätischeAkademie #ConstructionIndustry

The Tertiary Education Facilities Management Association (TEFMA) 2025 Conference took place in Brisbane from 14–17 September, covering three days of knowledge-sharing, collaboration and connection. This year’s conference theme focused on “Brighter Futures: Facilities for the Future – Blending People, Property, Processes, and Platforms”. Woods Bagot Associate Principal Alastair Flynn presented the University of Tasmania’s “The Forest” Building alongside Hansen Yuncken Project Manager Alex Gorton and University of Tasmania Director of Capital Works Justin Hanlon. The keynote presentation covered the innovative features of the future campus, from the adaptive reuse strategy, to the integration of carbon-neutral materials, to biophilic design principles in practice. The facility is slated to welcome staff and students on the premises from early 2026, and will comprise a vibrant teaching and learning hub setting new benchmarks in sustainable campus design. Associate Principal Clare Connan also presented the Woods Bagot-sponsored award for “Institution of the Year”, recognising an institution’s organisational impact through outstanding leadership, which this year went to Waipapa Taumata Rau University of Auckland. #education #ArchitectureForWorldsAhead #TEFMA #WoodsBagot #sustainability

WE:Build Retrofitting Learning Event 🔧 From Theory to Timber: Our First On-Site Training Day at BE-ST! 🌲🏗️ We kicked off our practical training journey with an energising day at the Built Environment - Smarter Transformation BE-ST campus — starting with a safety awareness session and a guided tour of the factory, where we explored the innovative applications of Scottish timber and the principles of building physics. Then it was straight into hands-on learning: assembling floors, walls, and roofs with a focus on insulating against heat, moisture, and air. 💪🏽💡 This immersive experience is a key step in equipping our cohort with the practical skills and sustainability knowledge needed to shape the future of construction in Scotland. 🎥 Watch the reel to see the energy, teamwork, and craftsmanship in action! #retrofitting #SkillsForScotland #SustainableConstruction #ScottishTimber #HandsOnLearning #BESTCampus #EquateScotland #WomenInSTEM #BuiltEnvironment #ClimateAction

Check this out Aidan Madden, a student at Chico State in the CIM program, walked Paul through the lab where he’s gaining hands-on experience in construction materials. It’s a great reminder of why investing in education and programs like CIM is so critical — the future of our industry is being built right here. #BulkExchange #CIM #Chicostateuniversity

Solutions for nature-led residential development in Ireland: representatives from the Irish Landscape Institute (ILI) joined last week's inter-disciplinary workshop with the Irish Green Building Council - focused on developing and testing practical, scalable and sustainable solutions for enhancing biodiversity and green infrastructure across Ireland's residential sector.
