The Sustainable Community Building Refurbishment vs New Build

21 October 2010

The Glass-House Debate Series

The Glass-House Community Led Design is a national charity working to help local people and regeneration professionals make better community buildings, spaces, homes and neighbourhoods.

The Sustainable Community Building Refurbishment vs New Build

Each year The Glass-House and partner organisations hold a free nationwide debate series focusing on a topic related to the design of the built environment.

This year we will be exploring the sustainability of the community building. We will be looking at the challenges and opportunities faced by community organisations when they take on the management or ownership of a community building and will discussing what the social, environmental and economical implications are of doing so for both refurbishment and new builds.

With a diverse speaker panel providing first-hand accounts you will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the topic and be able to share your views. This is your chance to join in the lively discussion!
