Jubilee Campus receives more accolades

PA 166/09 The University of Nottingham's Jubilee Campus has been shortlisted for two more prestigious awards. The £30m extension with its striking new buildings designed by Make architects and built by Rok SOL has been shortlisted in the British Construction Industry (BCI) Awards for both the 'Building project from £3m to £50m Award' and the Prime Minister's Better Public Building Award. Professor Alan Dodson, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for environment and infrastructure, said: "The University is delighted that its stunning new campus development has been shortlisted for these awards. In commenting on the shortlist the Prime Minister said 'we are absolutely committed to good quality, sustainable public buildings and infrastructure (that) work efficiently and effectively'. His statement echoes the University's commitment to sustainable infrastructure development." The landmark development delivers a remarkable new environment for research, study, business and leisure which will benefit both the University and the City of Nottingham as a whole. The sensitively landscaped 18-acre site has transformed a barren and largely derelict former industrial site into a richly varied and welcoming environment with its own distinct sense of place. Ken Shuttleworth, founder of Make said: "We are delighted that the University of Nottingham's Jubilee Campus is a finalist in the BCIA Prime Minister's Better Building Award.
