RIBA West Midlands Jury Chair, Shauna Bradley welcomed the news:

They demonstrate the vision and ability of the West Midlands to respond to today’s challenges, while respecting the ingenuity of the past. These seven projects are the result of years of thoughtful design and collaborative working, with many environmentally-minded - prioritising re-use and adaptation, and all resulting in purposeful spaces which captivate, inspire and comfort their users.”
