Discover how sustainability can be incorporated into the design and operation of a major sporting venue with Lee Valley Ice Centre: Sustainability in Action. Students investigate the innovative design of the new ice centre through a series of practical challenges, exploring how the building works alongside its natural surroundings and local community.
The session also introduces students to biodiversity, regeneration and sustainable design, with activities including field sketching and independent research. Students can see how environmental considerations have been incorporated into a modern leisure facility, making this a practical way to explore sustainability beyond the classroom.
