BSEC Launches New Event Dedicated To Remodelling Existing Education Schools, Colleges And Universities


Remodelling Education Spaces, 13 - 14 September 2010, University Place, University of Manchester


Remodelling Education Spaces, brought to you by the organisers of


the Building Schools Exhibition & Conference (BSEC), focuses on the refurbishment, remodelling and redesign of existing education buildings. The new government has introduced significant budget cuts which affect new build plans for Britain’s schools, colleges and universities, with an overall emphasis on value for money and doing more for less. However, with many of the UK’s education spaces in poor condition, building work is still required to improve, maintain and develop these structures to meet acceptable standards, offering the best possible working environment for students and teachers alike. Remodelling Education Spaces addresses the very latest shift in thinking, away from being BSF focused towards new concepts including free schools and Academies. “I think people who will do well, will be those good at making the most of what we’ve got, rather than everything having to be bright and spanking new.” George Ferguson, former president, RIBA The remodelling of education buildings is an important market with


867 refurbishment projects already completed in 2009/10, equating to a massive £9.7billion (source: Barbour ABI). Taking place on 13 - 14 September at the University of Manchester,


Remodelling Education Spaces explores the opportunities this growing market presents. The event format includes a comprehensive programme and focussed exhibition which share the same venue within the university. Key topics from the conference will also be discussed in seminar areas on the exhibition floor, free to exhibition visitors. The two day conference programme will feature interactive roundtable discussions, case studies, viewpoint and panel discussions, networking breaks and time for delegates to visit the exhibition, presenting a unique experience to maximise the networking and learning opportunities on offer.


A panel discussion including Mark Johnson, managing director at TPP


Law, Simon Lucas, head of education and children’s services, EC Harris and Carl-Gustaf Stawström will address how free the ‘free’ school model would be. The discussion will look at the ideas behind the free school model, how these schools are financed, the success of UK schools who


have already implemented this model and how much new build vs. refurbishment there should be to create free schools. Chief executive of Academy 360, Paul Prest is speaking at the event.


Academy 360, an all-through Academy and Sunderland’s flagship school was launched in 2008. Open six days a week, 50 weeks a year, Academy 360 prides itself on there always being someone available to provide learning and activities for the children and community. The facilities provided at the Academy include 12 outdoor sports fields, 6 open space learning spaces, a cyber café and 200 square metres of gardens. Prest explains the benefits this new concept: “Academy 360 provides a culture in which students are emotionally and intellectually supported, excited about learning, highly motivated because their individual talents are recognised and valued and their potential realised without exception”. The speaker line up spans the range of key stakeholders within the education building industry, including architects, contractors, consultants, designers, heads of education establishments, government departments and councils among others. Approximately 1000 visitors are expected to attend the exhibition plus 200 conference delegates from both the public and private sectors, including Local Authorities, main contractors, LEPs, architects, head teachers, ICT professionals, engineers, project managers, quantity surveyors, consultants and institutional investors. Visitors to the event can enjoy free seminar content on the exhibition floor, feature areas dedicated to Local Authorities and re-thinking current models as well as unrivalled networking opportunities with exhibitors, speakers and delegates. Conference delegates will benefit from the content and knowledge of


the in-depth conference programme, including dedicated networking breaks, as well as having the opportunity to visit the exhibition stands. Dates and Times of Opening: - Monday 13th September – 12:00 - 18:00 Tuesday 14th September – 09:00 - 17:30 Register on line at www.remodellingeducation.com for the exhibition and to book your conference delegate pass.
