Plans for a North East training facility to provide next generation skills for next generation homes have been submitted.
Sunderland City Council, Sunderland College and the Ministry of Building Innovation and Education (MOBIE) have worked together to develop plans for a Housing Innovation and Construction Skills Academy (HICSA).
The facility will educate, train and upskill local people to create innovative factory-built new homes, the first of which will be assembled at Riverside Sunderland.
