Please briefly describe the main activities of the organisation
The work of the BEAM Research Centre is highly aligned to a number of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Centre strives to place the SDGs at the core of its research.
Please briefly state the vision, mission and values of the organisation
The effect of climate change issues on man-made structures and their surroundings is a future concern for sustainable cities and communities. We explore the social, environmental and economic inter-dependencies of sustainable built environments in the context of global climate change and natural resource utilisation. We aim to deliver innovative lasting solutions that meet international standards, such as the “Well Building Standard” which encompass air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind.
Please provide examples of how the organisation promotes equality, diversity and inclusion
The centre is part of GCU's School of Computing, Engineering, and the Built Environment, which currently holds an Athena SWAN Bronze Award.
