Training centre secures future with £500k grant

摘要

Industry training centre Constructionarium is on the verge of securing funding to create a permanent base in Norfolk. The East of England Development Agency has given provisional approval for a grant of about £500,000 to enable it to build facilities at Bircham Newton near King's Lynn, the location of the CITB-ConstructionSkills headquarters. The scheme gives engineering undergraduates practical experience of construction by working on scaled-down versions of international projects. The funding will mean that Constructionarium can simulate environments such as lakes, drydocks, mountains and rivers.
