A new town centre for the Yorkshire town of Barnsley is under construction. Known as the Glass Works, the scheme includes a multi-storey car park, retail and restaurant units and a 13-screen cinema.

Supported on a series of trusses and mega arches, 21 Moorfields is a new 17-storey commercial building in the City of London that spans over Moorgate underground station as well as the western ticket hall for the Liverpool Street Elizabeth Line station.

Structural steelwork was the framing material of choice for the Royal Shakespeare Company, as it wanted a material that could economically form long clear spans for its new costume workshop.

NSC also features a Sector Focus article on light gauge steel, industry news, a technical article and advisory desk from the Steel Construction Institute, and codes and standards updates.
