Southside Hereford University Design Challenge 2022 - Winners announced

Tuesday, August 02, 2022

TDCA were honoured to sponsor this valuable and relevant initiative once again. The Timber Development UK University Design Challenge is a student competition based on a live project to design a net zero community centre, showcasing timber construction and meeting Passivhaus Standard.

The competition brought together interdisciplinary groups of students from universities the length and breadth of the UK – from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen to the University of Portsmouth.

The winners were announced on 22 July, at a live two-day event at the New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering (NMITE). We congratulate the 4 winning teams and all who entered the challenge, the organisers and the judges who deliberated over the entries.

This was a great opportunity for TDCA to be part of the conversation with built environment professionals of the future – exploring the possibilities of timber decking and cladding materials and techniques.
