Cambridge University New Civil Engineering Building Completed

Cambridge University Engineering Departments new Civil Engineering building was completed in 2019. It is the first building of the Departments bold plans to move to the West Cambridge campus. Smith and Wallwork pioneered the use of the Energy Cost Metric in the selection of the structural frame for the building – adopting the least energy intensive frame option (embodied energy, transport energy and potential reclaim energy). Design for Deconstruction (DfD) also influenced the design of the structure.
