IBSE has launched the ‘Building for the Future’ campaign, a transformative initiative designed to build a lasting legacy for the building services engineering profession. Central to this vision is the recent opening of CIBSE’s new head offi ce, which will serve as a hub for development, knowledge-sharing and lifelong learning.
As the world increasingly focuses on the path to net zero, the building services sector is pivotal in achieving these ambitious goals. CIBSE’s new head offi ce is more than just a physical space; it will be a beacon for collaboration and sustainable building performance. This development aims to equip future generations of engineers with the tools and expertise to meet the industry’s evolving challenges. CIBSE’s vision for its new head offi ce is to create a world-class Skills Hub that will serve as a central focal point for CIBSE members and the wider built environment community. The facilities will feature a modern theatre for lectures, events, knowledge- sharing, outstanding training rooms to support professional development, and collaborative workspaces to foster networking, learning, and industry engagement. CIBSE CEO, Ruth Carter, commented: “At CIBSE, we are committed to fostering innovation,
collaboration and sustainability in the built environment. Our new head offi ce is more than just a new space; it’s a symbol of our commitment to shaping the future of the profession globally and ensuring that the next generation of engineers
is equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow. With the support of our members and partners, we can make this vision a reality and continue driving progress for the building services sector worldwide.”
