Last week Trilogy Founder Robert Wolstenholme welcomed supporters of the #Don’tWasteBuildings lobbying group to Republic, the pioneering shared education campus at East India Docks, for a tour and Q&A session to explore how the buildings have been transformed both in terms of their fabric and use, but also in the way they now interact and serve the local communities.

Don’t Waste Buildings is the campaign to put a spotlight on embodied carbon and make the case for the productive use of empty and underperforming buildings.

It is calling on the next government to tackle these issues by introducing regulation and financial incentives that will make the reuse of existing building a simpler and more profitable.
