Assignment Brief and Guidance

You work for Sheikh Wheeler Construction [SWC] as a Sustainability Consultant.
City of Westminster College has been demolished and will be replaced by a £147m leisure centre.
The centre will contain a family leisure pool, a competition pool, a training pool, a 1,000m2 gym, two
multi-sports halls, climbing walls and other facilities as the council commits to encouraging more people
into active lifestyles.
The initial superstructure construction design is based on a steel and concrete frame with a timber roof.
The building services elements are still under consideration but the client is demanding an approach to
maximise passive energy influences. SWC however are committed to realising the benefits of Modern
Methods of Construction (MMC).
The SWC Board and the Client understand that MMC covers many different areas including offsite
construction, modular buildings, new materials and even 3D printing but need more details.
In discussions with the Client during the RIBA stage gate process the client requested at the Sustainability
checkpoint that SWC detailed the implications of MMC for sustainability.
You have been instructed by the SWC Board to produce a report with accompanying presentation to
address this issue.
