This is a great achievement to start the new year and the school celebrates Dr. Olubisi Ige's success.

London Southbank University is developing a site health and safety training VR tool that can target a user's weak spots.

The tool, presented as a VR game, is married to a psychometric test that the user must take before using the tool, ensuring they experience bespoke challenges each time they engage with the system.

The project is led by LSBU’s Dr Zulfikar Adamu. Some similar VR training tools are in development across the construction industry, however he notes his system’s unique qualities: the psychometric test approach means that each trainee gets a customised training regime, while its game-like feel will encourage regular engagement for continuous development. Indeed, Dr Adamu refers to the tool as being part of the 'serious game' genre, and thus someone using it is a player.

Each time a player starts the game, they must answer about 60 questions based on the established Big Five 'OCEAN' psychometric test. 'OCEAN' stands for five key behavioural traits: Openness, Conscientiousne

On Wednesday 4 March 2020, Eliana Voutsadakis and 12 of the Construction Management students attended an extremely interesting site visit at 22 Bishopsgate, which, at the moment, is the tallest building in the city under construction. This visit was kindly organised by the CIOB.
