RIBA East Midlands Jury Chair Anne Schroell, Associate at Niall McLaughlin Architects, said:
“This year’s inspiring shortlist of projects each demonstrate a strong commitment to community, sustainability or reuse. From the sensitive restoration of historic and listed structures to the creation of engaging learning environments and inclusive cultural hubs, the projects reflect the region’s dedication to thoughtful, forward-thinking design.
Sustainability remains at the heart of this year’s selection, with architects embracing low-carbon solutions and adaptive reuse to breathe new life into treasured buildings ensuring they continue to serve and inspire future generations.”
All projects shortlisted for RIBA Awards will be visited by a regional jury, and the winning projects will be announced later this spring.
The winners will then be considered for several RIBA Special Awards, including the RIBA Sustainability Award and RIBA Building of the Year, before being considered for a highly coveted RIBA National Award, which will be announced in summer.
The shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize – the UK’s best new building – will be drawn from the RIBA National Award-winning projects and announced in September. The Stirling Prize winner will be announced in October.
