sustainability in order to educate its students in all aspects of the topic so that when they leave they become sustainability ambassadors. ‘My vision was that the students here
could learn about living a sustainable lifestyle so that when they finish university they become ambassadors for green living,’ Wilson explains. Fundamental to Wilson’s plan was
the students’ accommodation. Like much of the university, the old halls of residence were built in the early 1970s on a brownfield, city centre site using construction methods that were common at a time of cheap energy. Rather than refurbish the halls, Wilson calculated it would be just as cost effective to knock down the existing building and replace it with something akin to his aspirations.
