Buro Happold projects succeed at RICS awards 2010
Consultancy enjoys recognition for inspiration projects
Four of international multidisciplinary engineering consultancy Buro Happolds’ projects have been recognised at this year’s RICS awards.
The annual awards celebrate built and natural environment projects that demonstrate excellence in the categories of Building Conservation, Community Benefit, Regeneration and Sustainability. The categories were chosen to showcase the skills offered and the contribution made, in delivering world class projects.
In the Sustainability award category New Library, Queen’s University, Belfast won and the Regional Agricultural Centre, Harrogate was commended, while the Langley Academy in Slough and the O2 Dublin were commended in the Community Benefit and the Building Conservation categories respectively.
Judge Jim Ure said “The New Library is proving an invaluable resource for students at Queen’s University, Belfast. The building achieves excellence on two fronts: in terms of providing essential educational support and through its distinction in sustainability. On both counts, it is an exceptional project.”
