On Wednesday 26th August, a group of young members visited Alumno's Eastside Locks Development, being constructed by John Sisk & Son Ltd.

No1 City Locks is student accommodation building being constructed on a derelict site in the centre of Birmingham, as part of the city’s Eastside Regeneration project.

Construction is progressing on site, with the piled foundation and insitu concrete podium complete. The superstructure is currently being formed of precast concrete unit, and so this visit provided a great opportunity to witness and learn more about precast construction.

City Locks complements the historic canal-side environment, fitting in with other developments and minimising disruption to the local community, while bringing key benefits. Level access and an active ground floor frontage encourage a new active and sustainable canal-side environment and offer improved safety by increased use of the area.
