Judges’ Comments
“This building was a revelation. The level of thought and preparation for its future occupants inspired us. The team worked closely with Papworth Hospital and the University to create a series of beautiful spaces, with the ability to evolve and adapt to new requirements. The building is innovative, light-filled and offers generous views in all directions. It is an elegant and clever model of a research-enabled future, and one we enjoyed seeing. We make special mention of its Project Manager, Tom Fenner, whose passion for the project inspired us.”
