"I will always treasure that summer as one of the best I ever had not only due to the fantastic work I was involved in but also for the many lasting friendships I forged."

Oliver spent the summer of his final year as a Happold Scholar, working at the Buro Happold office in Bath. 

 "The mentorship I have received has allowed me to grow as a person and engineer and my position here in the Special Project Group has allowed me to meet and work with some extraordinary architects and artists."
