Home to the University of Cambridge’s Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), we are exclusively opening up the Entopia Building for a look inside the award-winning sustainable retrofit.
The Entopia Building is a ground-breaking approach to retrofitting existing buildings to make them more sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly. The project and subsequent outcome demonstrates how global trends and challenges can be addressed meaningfully at the scale of a single building.
Join us for the opportunity to tour the building (including our roof terrace with panoramic views across the city) and hear from the project’s partners for a presentation on the project’s challenges, outcomes and learnings. Located in central Cambridge, this event offers a unique opportunity to discover the world-leading concept of Entopia.
