MAG Sustainable Futures Series - South West College, The Erne Campus
The Erne Campus is the first Passive House Premium project in the UK and the largest passive house premium building in the world. The intervention and refinement of the project through the MAG design review process has contributed to a world class building and one that delivers against the vision of MAG that all communities in Northern Ireland would enjoy and benefit from exemplary, sustainable, and well-designed spaces, places, and buildings.
