8 NEWS APPRENTICESHIPS Arup: engineering exciting careers
Global design, planning and engineering firm Arup has welcomed a fresh intake of apprentices and newly qualified graduates to support its Nottingham team’s work on a wide range of major projects. The roles “underline the company’s commitment to the city and its continued growth in the region, as well as providing a huge boost for its successful apprenticeship scheme,” commented Arup. Two recently recruited apprentice technicians and two new university graduates are now part of the 100-plus city team.
Four further Nottingham-based
apprentices have also recently completed their part-time degrees with the company. Arup’s designers, planners, engineers, architects, consultants and technical specialists work across all aspects of the built environment.
The Nottingham office has been involved in many projects which “have helped shape the city and beyond in the last 30 years,” including the Old Market Square redevelopment, the University of Nottingham Jubilee Campus and the expansion of East Midlands Airport. The team has also delivered the new Sandwell Aquatics Centre in
Smethwick and is working on many local healthcare, education and manufacturing sector projects. Arup, which has its headquarters in London, employs 6,000 people across 17 UK offices, and thousands more worldwide. It took on 14 apprentices and 21 graduates between its offices in Nottingham and Birmingham this autumn, and 245 graduates and 74 apprentices in total across the UK.
The Nottingham office recently saw colleagues Vicky Evans and Steve Fernandez promoted to directors of the global firm.

Approval for RCA’s health centre in Peak District HEALTHCARE
A state-of-the-art, £10.5m new health centre will be built in the Peak District town of Bakewell after planning approval was secured. Designed and submitted by Sheffield-based architectural practice, Race Cottam Associates (RCA), the 16,000 ft2
centre has been designed to
provide healthcare services for approximately 5,000 people. Set to be shared between Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust and East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS), the new ‘healthcare hub’ has been designed as a “multi-purpose, accessible building,” said the architects.
It will feature a new clinic, treatment
and waiting areas, administration offices, dedicated staff and client parking, and house a number of existing services including mental health, children’s services, speech and language services, podiatry and physiotherapy.
Occupying a prominent position on the major northern gateway into Bakewell,
RCA’s approved design was carefully considered to reflect the area's heritage and ensure the health centre’s modern aesthetic would not detract from the neighbouring, Grade II listed Newholme Hospital frontage, which is being retained. The Peak Park Design Guide helped shape the overall design, which includes a collection of “long strip buildings” with traditional gable end features. Locally sourced materials such as limestone and gritstone will also help the new healthcare hub blend with its surroundings.
The Bakewell healthcare hub marks the second Peak District scheme in RCA’s current portfolio.
