RIBA praised the ‘vibrant and imaginative exemplar of conservation in its truest sense’ as ‘a call to arms to love our existing buildings in all their shapes and sizes, and make them beautiful and functional once again.’ The project, already the recipient of AJ Retrofit and BREEAM awards, ‘should set a new standard in architecture today’. In addition to this, Kingston University has won RIBA London Client of the Year. Read the judge's summary here and more about the project here.
