CEO and Principal of The Bedford College Group Ian Pryce CBE said: “To have this sort of asset for technology training here within our Advanced Engineering Centre is a dream resource which brings together architecture, design, surveying and on-going construction activities.”
Head of Engineering Steve Croft said: “The much wider advantage of this equipment is that it can be used by people in creative industries as well as those in engineering. Any sort of design can be brought to life via the headsets.”
Proving the point was Andrew Morris of the Ashe Construction group, who built the Advanced Engineering Centre, also known as the Buchanan Centre, who was thrilled by the technology and said it could prove a powerful asset for organisations like his by bringing plans from the drawing board into “life”.
Andrew added: “Building Information Modelling is now insisted upon in many government contracts so young people who can master this sort of technology are in great demand.”
