CTL Phase II Student Artwork Competition - NOW CLOSED FOR ENTRIES

YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO DESIGN ARTWORK FOR THE COLLABORATIVE TEACHING LABORATORY

A unique and exceptional facility, the Collaborative Teaching Laboratory (CTL) is to become a hub for science and engineering teaching, with multifunctional labs suitable for subject-specific and cross-disciplinary teaching and team working. It represents an investment of over £40m in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects.

Over the Autumn Term, the University will be holding a competition to design the artwork that is featured on the glass panels surrounding the CTL building e-Lab and Dry Lab. The e-Lab includes more than 200 computers arranged in groups to facilitate collaboration, whilst the Dry Lab is for use predominantly by disciplines that work with electrical equipment, such as Geography and Electrical Engineering.

This competition will be open to all UoB students, alumni and University School students. There will be multiple winners, with each winning entry receiving a £50 gift voucher and getting the chance to work with the professional company to transform their design into a glass window ‘manifestation’. 

          

All entries should be guided by the following theme, which links closely to the CTL’s objectives: Breaking Down Boundaries in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM).

Some of the boundaries which could be considered are breaking down boundaries between STEM disciplines and breaking down the boundaries restricting inclusivity in STEM, although individual interpretations of the theme are encouraged.

The competition is now open and closes on Monday 15th January 2018. All entries should be submitted electronically in an A4 PDF document (landscape or portrait is acceptable). Designs should be in black and white and kept simple so they can be translated into white/single-coloured frosting on the glass panels.

For further information, or to submit your design, please contact Mairead Mallon, M.Mallon@bham.ac.uk.
