One of the most interesting modules you will study on this civil engineering course is Structural Adaptation and Re-use of Buildings. Structural adaptation and building re-use are the processes of repurposing disused or abandoned buildings. In an era in which major concerns about climate change see a greater emphasis placed on sustainability across industries, it’s one the most environmentally friendly ways that civil engineering firms can achieve project goals and help demonstrate the incredible possibilities that the industry has to offer.
With calls to reduce carbon footprints on the rise, the reuse of buildings is the way forwards for construction and civil engineering firms. Our degree programme can introduce you to the exciting and essential world of adaptive re-use, equipping you to project manage the structural adaptation of a building for a firm that specialises in this area of construction and civil engineering.
