OPUN is the Architecture and Design Centre for the East Midlands working for the creation of better quality neighbourhoods, buildings and public spaces across the region. We believe in the value of good design and creativity and are passionate about engaging people in architecture and their built environment. With a new Chair, Gary Hunt, and new Chief Executive, Julie Tanner, OPUN has recently entered into an exciting period of development having re-launched as an independent organisation, hosted by De Montfort University in Leicester.
We work with decision makers, design, planning and regeneration professionals, communities and young people to improve the design of the built environment. We put high value on the contribution excellent design, culture and creativity bring to making places which are distinctive, places where people can enjoy living and working and have pride in. OPUN manages the East Midlands Design Review Panel and offers a range of other services, enabling and neighbourhood planning, training, inspirational visits and tours, talks, events and professional networking opportunities for anyone interested in the design of new or regenerated buildings and places.
OPUN Architecture East Midlands is a registered charity 1143920.
