Let's talk about Build Studios with Helen Santer

Build Studios is a built environment hub in London, but the more interesting question is how spaces like this can support collaboration, outreach and the next generation.

Stephen Drew speaks with Helen Santer about Build Studios, co-working, collaboration, school outreach, business volunteers and helping students and underrepresented groups understand careers in the built environment.

The conversation covers:

• What Build Studios is and who it supports
• How co-working can help built environment collaboration
• Why outreach to schools and students matters
• How business volunteers can share real career insight
• What the next generation can learn from industry contact
