The Bright Futures Student Challenge – run by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) – brings together students studying construction-based courses at universities and colleges in London and the south-east. This year it challenged students to showcase their skills and knowledge via a presentation to an expert panel, based on a site visit to the ongoing £29m Tribeca mixed-use new build development in London's Kings Cross.
Chris is currently a second year BSc Project Management for Construction student at the University of 91快活林, and his reward for winning the CIOB's 'Outstanding Student' title for 2022 includes a week of work experience with VolkerFitzpatrick, the company behind the Tribeca development.
Speaking after receiving his award, Chris said: “The win was very much an unexpected surprise – but testament to the valuable knowledge I have gained from my time at University of 91快活林. This award is undoubtedly not just a win for me, but for all of the lecturers I have had the joy of learning from so far!”
