Civic Trust Conservation Award for Battersea Arts Centre 09.03.20

Battersea Arts Centre has won the AABC Conservation Award at the Civic Trust ceremony in Manchester on Friday. This accolade is awarded to projects which demonstrate the highest standards of historic building conservation, and make an outstanding contribution to the quality and appearance of the built environment. The judges commented that BAC is a "‘conserve as found’ project that clearly showed the scheme develop as a result of an active philosophy rather than immoveable principles set at the start. An imaginative and fluid project that illustrates the highest levels of creativity combined with fabric repair to deliver an excellent conservation project".
