The Concrete Centre and British Precast will have a new Pavilion at Ecobuild 2015. Supported by manufacturers, solution providers and industry bodies, this new Pavilion will provide visitors with access to product and design experts. The pavilion includes a low energy housing feature, a seminar theatre as well as the products and solutions to enable designers to utilise the sustainable credentials of concrete in the built environment. 

Andrew Minson, executive director for The Concrete Centre and British Precast said, “By working together the teams at The Concrete Centre and British Precast can bring together product and design expertise. This combination will provide visitors to Ecobuild with a great new feature where they can access practical advice and the latest best practice guidance”.

Minson added: “The sustainable credentials of concrete and masonry can enable the designer to deliver a sustainable built environment. Visitors can learn more about fire resistance, thermal mass, air-tightness and the exhibitors within the Pavilion demonstrate concrete’s versatility, representing a wide range of solutions for buildings, housing and infrastructure”.

Ecobuild is the largest exhibition and seminar programme in the built environment and The Concrete Centre will be adding to the conversations, with daily technical presentations as well as expert panels on topical issues including climate change adaptation and urban resilience.

Some surprises are also being planned to entertain visitors to the Pavilion. The aim is to ensure that the Pavilion is an informative and inspirational experience.

The Concrete and Masonry Pavilion is part of Sustainable Design & Construction area in the North Hall. For more information about participating in the Pavilion contact Claire Ackerman at info@concretecentre.com.
