The timber frame of a 拢8.5m centre for sustainability has been completed in the East Midlands.

iCon in Daventry will provide accommodation for up to 60 companies specialising in sustainable construction and green technologies. The scheme will include an eco-advice centre run by Sustainable Construction iNet and Construction Futures.
