Based at Somerset College, the Genesis Centre is the sustainable construction resource and learning centre for the South West.

The Genesis Centre is the most exciting development in the Further Education sector today. It demonstrates that traditional construction materials and methods can work in harmony with recycled waste and modern materials and techniques to create energy saving, waste reducing streamlined, contemporary buildings.

Educational links and opportunities are in development with schools and colleges across the region. Continuing professional development courses for construction professionals and people involved in self build or interested in sustainability in general are run from the Centre.
