Welcome to the The Faculty of Environment and Technology 2022 Virtual Degree show.
In response to the fragmentation caused at both a social and environmental level by the loss of Stoke-on-Trent’s indigenous industries, The Chatterley Whitfield Faculty of Sustainable Agriculture which is situated within the wider masterplan of The Chatterley Whitfield Campus for Traditional Crafts, provides both an educational facility and exemplary sustainable, plant-based, agricultural system. The building is a microcosm of the wider cultivation system and hence acts as an educational tool, in both its program and spatial arrangement. By offering theoretical and practical teaching, users are provided with the ground- breaking skills needed to redefine the agricultural industry, following new commitments made by the UK government post COP26. This flagship building further seeks to reconnect the colliery site with the local disadvantaged communities, by providing opportunities to learn and up-skill.
