Innovative building blocks for LSK

HKD [www.hkd.uk.com] have developed outline proposals for the layout of the facility using a modular shipping container concept. They are inviting the expertise of Container City [www.containercity.com] to build the centre using these innovative building blocks

This provides the opportunities in environmental recycling through the reuse of shipping containers, heightened speed of construction, flexibility in marketing and financing as well as a reduction to the total cost of the project with the ability to phase the build without delaying the opening.

HKD are working with Container City to develop visual representations on how the building and the content will look, in particular illustrative material to place on the website and share with customers and partners.

As well as these benefits introduced through the use of shipping containers as innovative building blocks, HKD have proposed further ideas as to how to develop the educational content in stages. The staged approach includes work related learning opportunities such as a internship scheme, inviting people to gain work experience during the very early stages of the site build.

Please email info@lifeskillskent.org.uk for further information about the internship scheme and other opportunities.
