“I’m delighted that 15 projects have been shortlisted for the RIBA East Midlands 2018 Awards. The diversity of schemes selected, including five by regionally-based practices, demonstrates the breadth of high-quality architecture that this region has to offer.”
All shortlisted buildings will be assessed by a regional jury with the winning buildings announced at the RIBA East Midlands Awards evening and reception on Thursday 17 May at The Engineering Building, Leicester University. The Awards will be hosted by BBC East Midlands Political Editor, Tony Roe.

The shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize for the best building of the year will be drawn from the RIBA National Award-winning buildings later in the year.
