At the University of South Wales (USW), an ambitious and exciting structure has emerged in the heart of its Treforest campus. It’s been a year since the groundbreaking ceremony of the £60m Calon building project, and after almost 950 tonnes of reinforced steel, along with the input from 140 people working on the project, the building has reached its full height of 23 metres.
“It will look really striking when it’s all finished,” Miranda Thomas, head of strategic projects and the lead on the project, says. “It’s going to bring a new energy to the campus.”
