MPhil The Construction IT Research Centre CITRC

Currently, the Centre recognises the government priority areas which address the need for buildings that are more adaptable to our rapidly changing social needs, and the growing market for low-impact new build and retrofit, and therefore looks to promote solutions for improving products, services and processes of construction industry by fostering innovation and better exploitation of ICT at all levels. The Centre consists of academics actively engaging in funded projects, PhD supervision, leading on workshops and events, producing publications and engaging with the industry. These activities reflect the core competencies of the members as well as being instrumental in developing new competencies within the Centre. These include, but are not limited to, research in Virtual Environments consisting of CAD/CAM, GIS, Virtual and Augmented Reality, nD Modelling, Virtual Prototyping and generic visualisation techniques, Future Spaces, Modelling and Simulation, Building Information Modelling, Advanced Computer Graphics, Presence and Mixed Reality Environments, Real-time Virtual Agents, and Virtual Prototyping.
