Our principal, Jennifer Beningfield, will be speaking at The Education Estates® Conference, the UK’s leading forum for everyone involved in the planning, funding, design, construction, maintenance and management of education environments.

Her session “From RAAC to Renewal” will explore how school rebuilding and retrofit projects can successfully deliver sustainable, future-ready learning environments while operating within the constraints of live education settings, ageing estates and complex heritage contexts. Through case studies including St Mary Magdalene & St Stephen’s CE Primary School the talk will demonstrate how major estate challenges, including RAAC remediation, can become opportunities for long-term transformation.

With more than 170 expert speakers appearing across 6 dedicated stages, the conference provides valuable insight into the latest policy developments, sustainability priorities, estate strategies, capital investment and project delivery.
