The Solihull-based WMG Academy for Young Engineers was completed and handed over in August.
Designed by Maber Architects, the University Technical College provides a 'business led' learning environment for 14 – 18-year-olds. Features include open learning and break-out spaces, modern technology and a triple-height lecture theatre at the centre of the building.

James Turner, BAM's project manager for WMG Academy, said: "We've been very engaged with the design and build of the academy from an early stage which has helped us deliver it successfully, and it has assisted the quality of the partnerships we've formed here. That's a very good model for delivering construction projects generally, and it helps the client get the building they want at the end. I'm pleased to see it looking so good."
Maber's Managing Director, Mark Hobson, said: "The ethos of the Academy is problem solving and practical solutions with ICT and digital technology driving a 'designing, creating, making' approach.
"We wanted the building to reflect that. It's a practical, flexible space that has been designed to be a learning environment for the next generation of engineers."
