ECOSpace is the UK’s first centre for sustainable<br />
construction. The centre’s key goal is to lead the way in<br />
training for sustainable development in construction by<br />
encouraging environmentally sustainable work practices. It<br />
features a suite of restoration workshops which are training<br />
future craftspeople to redevelop many of the traditional<br />
construction crafts. ECOSpace is also home to the ASPIRE<br />
Centre, a new concept that has created real life and work<br />
learning environments for students with severe learning<br />
difficulties. This facility enables learners to become<br />
confident and skilled for a more independent and<br />
rewarding life.<br />
The Music Box creates a new music and performing<br />
arts centre for Stevenson College in Edinburgh.<br />
The new two-storey building houses a 120-seat<br />
multi-purpose auditorium, a recording suite, a range<br />
of rehearsal and music tutorial rooms, individual music<br />
practice booths and a dance studio.<br />
The school is designed to encourage synergy and crossfertilisation<br />
between activities, students and the public.<br />
