Michael Ramage

Professor of Architecture and Engineering

The Centre for Natural Materials Innovation (CNMI) at the University of Cambridge and partners are designing and building a prototype of a mass timber primary school building for Fawcett School in Cambridge, UK. The aim is to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of mass timber schools to the UK’s Department for Education and support the mainstreaming of mass timber in the construction of primary schools and other educational facilities across the country.
