TWO Oxford University buildings with sweeping glass panels and striking block shapes await their fate in a national architecture competition. 

The Blavatnik School of Government and the Weston Library have both been shortlisted for a prestigious award, among just four other hopefuls across the country.

Judges of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)'s Stirling Prize have decided which of the six finalists deserves to be bestowed with the honour, and will announce the winner tomorrow.

The Weston Library in Broad Street, designed by WilkinsonEyre, was hailed last month as one of the winners of the Architects' Journal 2016 Retrofit Awards following an £80m renovation.

In July the Blavatnik School in Walton Street, designed by Herzog and de Meuron, was awarded by the Institution of Civil Engineers' for best use of civil engineering in a building project. 

Also up for the Stirling Prize is the Riverside Campus at City of Glasgow College, Newport Street Gallery in London, the Outhouse in the Forest of Dean, and Trafalgar Place housing development in London.
