This module will mimic a real 'health and safety' briefing that you would receive on site during a work experience placement. After being spoken through rules, regulations, guidelines and best practices, candidates will be given a brief before being allowed to explore a site with VR. Off the back of this, you’ll answer short questions about what you observed on site - whether or not your experience matched with guidelines. The module's webinar will be a chance for a firm to explore these issues in more detail - and perhaps provide the answers - before you have a chance to reflect on you own understanding.

This module provides a deep dive into the overlap between the fields of architecture and construction - remember, at the centre of all construction projects are the people who will use the buildings! The historic problems with Rhode Island's school buildings will be explored, and an overview of different future improvements outlined. You will be able to take a virtual tour of some of Rhode Island's most cutting edge, new school buildings, in which the key features and the professionals (welders, mechanics, electricians) behind them will be highlighted. In the webinar, these issues will be explored in more depth, and in the module's activity, you’ll have the opportunity to re-design their own school with innovations in construction in mind.

This workshop centres on aligning the reality of construction projects with the needs of the local community. The ways in which a project might affect a community (positive and negative) are outlined, and guidelines are given for how the needs of a community might be identified and met. Guidance, resources and tools are provided for how a construction project might be funded. You’ll then receive a specific brief about the needs of one community and be asked to make key decisions surrounding this brief. Professionals explain their approach in a webinar, and you’ll receive feedback at the end of the workshop.
