A University of Kent Crowdfunding Platform is being launched by the Development Office to support student projects at Kent.

First up are a group of enterprising students who are raising money to build an environmentally sustainable round wooden timber-framed building – using materials taken from the University’s own coppiced woodland.

This exciting project will create a teaching, learning, and social space set within an ethnobotanical garden. They need your help to prepare the site, assemble the circular structure, add the roof, and then design and construct the floor and walls.

You can follow their progress on Facebook or on Twitter @tree2_b

The crowdfunding launches this weekend!
