The building was designed by Arup Associates and erected in 2012. According to the university, it uses "a range of sustainable technologies, including rainwater harvesting, solar thermal energy and biomass boilers." https://www.coventry.ac.uk/the-university/about-coventry-university/our-buildings/buildings/ The website SteelConstruction.info reports that it the steel sections and components "were assembled on site using a small mobile crane. Erection took two weeks, after which the frame received an architectural-quality, silver-coloured, thin intumescent coating." https://www.steelconstruction.info/Engineering_and_Computing_Building_at_Coventry_University
