Diploma students visit Graham Construction

The format of the day was designed to enhance learning by giving students the opportunity to view a working office building which has been built to the highest environmentally friendly standards and to see how Graham are championing the use of sustainable construction techniques.

First, students were given a tour of the building before having a very detailed talk about Graham Construction’s daily operations by Sustainability Coordinator Jacqueline Gibson.  

Kim McCoy Johnston, SERC HND Construction Coordinator said: “The visit was a unique opportunity for the students to view Graham Construction’s state of the art, BREEAM rated ‘Excellent’ building which demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainability. These visits are hugely beneficial to the students and complement their studies by providing them with a practical view of the construction industry. The College would like to thank Graham Construction for their time and support in facilitating the visit.”

Construction student Aodhan McCabe said: “The visit was very interesting and I learnt a lot, it was good to speak to the professionals working in the industry.”
