Double celebrations for The Hub

The Hub at DIRFT, Lichfields’ longest running project, has won the Best Project Award at the RTPI Awards for Planning Excellence (East Midlands) in addition to being shortlisted for Promoting Economic Growth at the Planning Awards 2022. The Hub is a unique education and training facility located at the UK’s largest rail-served logistics park, Prologis RFI DIRFT. It is home to the Prologis Warehousing and Logistics Training  Programme (PWLTP) which supports the significant role that the logistics sector plays in the local, regional and national economy by providing individuals of any age, background or education with access to practical training opportunities.

Sustainability and wellbeing were at the heart of the design approach for The Hub, resulting in a ground-breaking facility that has achieved a significant reduction in embodied/operational carbon emissions and offers an exceptional environment to learn, work and train in.
