HOME FOR A HERO PROJECT

Each year we run the Home for a Hero project with local primary schools. It is an exciting collaboration between the Architecture Centre, local Architects and Structural Engineers and Primary Schools. The industry professionals go into primary schools for six, half day sessions and support the children in the design and construction of a model home for their hero.

The children have the opportunity to learn about Built Environment careers, drawing to scale, drawing plans and elevations, construction methods and materials and working as part of a team. All the models are exhibited at the end of the project and prizes are awarded to pupils at a celebratory awards ceremony.
