Overview

RICS in Wales, in partnership with the University of South Wales, invites you to a preview of Calon, the university’s new STEM facility.

Named after the Welsh for ‘heart’, Calon features state of the art equipment to provide the perfect environment for built environment, engineering and computer science courses. The University of South Wales is the largest provider of industry-accredited surveying and project management courses in Wales, and the Calon building will further support that.

This is a fantastic opportunity to see an incredible educational investment project, hear about its development and the facilities that the next generation will benefit from.
