Robin's Poster wins IStructE's "Coolest Concrete" Award
ACORN Research Associate Robin Oval has won the IStructE’s prestigious Coolest Concrete Award 2021 from fibUK and the IStructE. The award “Celebrates the art and science of concrete and showcase its use in design or construction to produce efficient solutions”, so very much following the ACORN ethos!
