BLOOMBERG 2015/2016

RGUTC students in Y12 and Y13 are working for the next two years in partnership with Bloomberg UK.

They are following a bespoke programme designed specifically for Engineering and Construction students to give them a flavour of all aspects of work involved on a major construction project.

In January 1987, Bloomberg opened its first office in London with 38 employees. By the late 1990s, they had more than 900 employees working in their London offices. In December 2010 they embarked in the construction of their new European Headquarters to suit their growing employee population. The new building at the heart of the City of London is key to Bloomberg’s future growth in Europe and globally and will stand as a symbol of their past successes and future ambitions.

The central London site, occupies 3.2 acres and will provide approximately 500,000 square feet of sustainable office space in collaboration with their design partners, Sir Norman Foster of Foster + Partners.

They are creating a building that captures their company’s ‘DNA of open spaces and technological innovation, while embracing the City of London’s rich tradition.’

Twenty five students at the Royal Greenwich UTC have been given the unique opportunity to work on real life problems encountered by different partners involved directly with the new building. Students have begun the first of six modules where they are working in teams on specific real-life problems involving concrete pouring, architecture, electrical installation and sustainability.

The modules will give students an insight into the different types of careers involved in building a new build from scratch. Students will have mentoring opportunities, work experience and internship placements with some of the most innovative professionals in the world of construction.

The majority of the sessions will take place at Bloomberg’s current European Headquarters at Finsbury Square with many sessions also taking place on the builiding site, 1 Walbrook Square.

ADA LOVELACE DAY LIVE! 2015
