BBC Radio 4 sent a journalist to spend the day with The Constructionarium 2012

BBC Radio 4 sent a journalist to spend the day with The Constructionarium 2012, with a focus on the nuclear constructionarium though each student team's media officer was interviewed. Rain, blazing sunshine and more rain has not daunted the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ and their request for an earlier start on site at 7.30am was taken as an indicator of enthusiasm.

Constructionarium second year ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ are building the nuclear power station containment structures; a cable stayed bridge over water; a section of an athletics stadium and the 4-storey Gherkin tower. MSc ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ from the  Materials Department have joined the teams. 4 alumnis of the constructionarium are on the staff team this year: Alex McCredie (2005 constructionarium) is resident engineer while three teaching assistants are from 2010: Ara (PhD Imperial) and Matt and Mike (now Laing O'Rourke). We take alumni enthusiasm as an indicator of the industry credibility of the event.
