Constructionarium designed a bespoke 6-hectare site at Bircham Newton, Norfolk, within the grounds of the CITB's National Construction College in 2004. Since then, over 13,000 students, graduates and professionals have completed one of the 14 experiential learning projects, which are based on iconic structures from around the world, including the Gherkin and the Millau Viaduct. Once on-site, delegates must form multi-disciplinary teams and act as the 'contractor', reporting to their client on a daily basis. Supported by industry partners, they decide on their own project plan and team structure, and must deal with unexpected situations (nesting birds or a shortage of bolts) and weather conditions as they arise.
