WORCESTER College is celebrating today after winning a prestigious architecture award.
The Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre, designed by by Niall McLaughlin Architects, has received a 2018 RIBA National Award from the Royal Institute of British Architects in recognition of its architectural excellence.
The building, on Worcester Place, was recently recognised with a RIBA South 2018 Award and received the RIBA South Building of the Year Award 2018.
In explaining why the latest award was given, the judges said: “It is a relatively small single-storey teaching facility, with an auditorium, seminar rooms, a dance studio and ancillary facilities all around a generous central foyer
"But above and beyond this, every space is high-celinged and flooded with daylight, every element is designed and crafted to the most exacting tolerances and standards, and every part fits together sweet"
The building was amongst 49 across the UK to have received 2018 RIBA National Awards today. The shortlist for the prestigious RIBA Stirling Prize, for the UK’s best building of the year, will be drawn from these winners.
