	Clever detailing with attention to detail is a stand out for this STEM Learning Hub, which is an extension to the existing campus at Borders College in Roxsburghshire. Educational in both design and use, the Hub is a robust submission with good architectural technology and design aspects which result in a building that is simple in form and function. It acts as a good test bed and educational learning tool for environmental design and construction and has used the ethos of Passivhaus throughout. The recording of performance during construction and design is a useful asset for future developments so the building can serve as a learning resource.
