The Big Debate: Reading Prison
from University of the Built Environment · host UCEM
We ran a competition for secondary school students in Berkshire to find solutions for the future of Reading Prison, which has not found a permanent usage since closing in 2013. After some excellent submissions, we whittled them down to a shortlist of four. We paired each of our shortlisted students with a UCEM academic who, here, debate on behalf of the students. Listen in to the debate and if you would like to vote for your favourite, head to ucem.ac.uk/competition to find our poll. The winning student will win their choice of either an iPad, electric scooter or £300 of gaming vouchers, as well as a careers talk for their school by UCEM real estate programme leader, David Hourihan.
