Sustainability
The Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC) benefits from an innovative Combined Heat and Power District Energy Scheme, allowing the University to generate up to 50% of its electricity on campus and use the resultant heat in campus buildings.
Throughout TIC, you'll find recycling bins, energy-efficient taps, and hand dryers to reduce waste. We encourage you to consider ways to reduce waste at your event, such as using alternative methods to provide information to delegates and taking your exhibition and materials away with you to use again at your next event. Find out more about our sustainable approaches within the building and the university as a whole.
