Building and civil engineering students at Coventry University
will be showing off their imaginative designs next week as part of
their end of year degree show project.
The exhibition takes place on Friday 6 May at the John Laing
Building in Much Park Street, Coventry.
Depending on the course studied, the students were given a brief
to come up with a new community centre for Cheylesmore or asked to
produce proposals for the University's new student building 'The
Hub' which is currently under construction on campus.
Steve Austin, senior lecturer in construction at Coventry
University, said:
"Both groups have been working to specific requirements from a
client and as well as designs, they have had to look at the
building materials they would use and produce a series of plans as
well as posters and models.
"The exhibition also includes work by architectural design
technology students and civil engineering students who will have
poster presentations of their final year design projects and
dissertations.
"As well as stand-alone models, the students use graphic
techniques and text to present the outcome of their research and
design."
The work will be on display from 4.30pm on Friday 6 May and is
open to anyone with an interest in building design.
