PSBJ (Public Sector Build Journal) is the industry’s leading monthly title for architects, contractors, LAs and heads of sites at schools, hospitals and leisure centres, looking to make informed decisions when specifying building products.
Latest Issue
Welcome to the December issue of PSBJ…
As we wrap up another remarkable year for the public sector, this issue celebrates the transformative power of thoughtful design and innovation in shaping vibrant, sustainable communities.
One standout is the Design and Digital Arts Building at Nottingham Trent University on page 08, where a collaboration led by CPMG Architects has created a hub for creativity and digital innovation. The building not only supports emerging talent but also solidifies Nottingham’s reputation as a centre for the creative industries.
On page 26, Chris Wotherspoon of Holmes Miller delves into the evolution of leisure centres. With a focus on inclusivity and sustainability, these spaces are redefining how we think about active wellbeing and community connection, offering designs that cater to diverse needs while driving down energy demands.
Meanwhile, Angela Brown from Broxap shares her insights into the transformative role of canopies and shelters in schools on page 32. These structures go beyond functionality, encouraging outdoor learning and play while promoting sustainability through innovative materials and design.
These stories illustrate how thoughtful design and innovation can enrich communities, whether through education, recreation or everyday experiences.
On behalf of the PSBJ team, I’d like to wish all our readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
