City of Bath College construction lecturer Sarah White is gaining industry experience with Lovell on a new housing development being built in Keynsham.

Construction lecturer Sarah has been spending a day a week with the Lovell team building 54 affordable homes at Amberley Close and Lulworth Road, Keynsham, as part of a large-scale regeneration programme the company is undertaking for Somer Community Housing Trust.


"Getting industry experience of this kind is absolutely invaluable," she said. "I've been able to track the progress of the site from the very start of the scheme and capture each stage by taking photographs. Richard Crew, the site manager, has been extremely generous with his time. It’s been very useful to have up-to-date information and images from a live site that I can use with my students. We’re now looking at organising a visit so students can get a closer look at the site for themselves."

Sarah teaches on the BTEC National Diploma in Construction at City of Bath College and is also involved in teaching younger students working towards the Construction and Built Environment Diploma.
