The Black Country & Marches Institute of Technology (BCMIoT) aims to transform the economy of the Black Country through an industry-led collaboration between employers and further education. Developed as part of the government’s drive to deliver a range of technology institutes across the UK, the BCMIoT course programme focuses on non-traditional progression routes up to and including degree level programmes across medical engineering and healthcare, advanced engineering and manufacturing, and modern methods of construction. Dudley College pioneered the Integrated Project Insurance (IPI) alliance model, which supports innovation by aligning the team around cost, time and quality, promoting a culture of mutual trust, no blame/no claim and the freedom for decisions to be made on a best for project basis. Delivered on time and under budget, the resulting building is lean with every space and constructional system optimised.
