    How can Data and Digital Twin reshape the future of education spaces? This session showcases how leading-edge data-driven masterplanning, design and construction is transforming universities. From streamlining construction to unlocking data-led estate planning, discover how live digital models are helping institutions to make smarter, faster, and more sustainable decisions. Featuring practical case studies, we’ll examine how technology is reducing costs, improving space utilisation, accelerating project timelines, and enabling net-zero strategies.

  7. Level 4

    The Welsh Government has set a pathway of decreasing targets for embodied carbon on publicly funded projects. In this session, we will describe what embodied carbon is, how to divide these targets between different elements of a building so they can be effectively measured and managed through the design process, and how they can be met by adapting traditional construction methods to manage risk and embrace innovation. The session will also explore how thoughtful material choices can contribute to carbon reduction and how these strategies can deliver long-term benefits for building occupiers, including improved comfort, wellbeing, and operational efficiency.

  8. Level 4
    Empowering students, whether in school or university, requires environments designed with intention, inclusivity, and adaptability. From spatial layout to social architecture, these environments must support wellbeing, relationships, and diverse pathways to learning. This session will explore how intentional design can meaningfully support student learning, wellbeing, and development.
