Read about the winner and shortlisted entries for this year’s Construction Client of the Year award

Winner: V&A

Since 2001 the V&A museum has been carrying out a comprehensive programme of restoration and redesign known as FuturePlan. Contemporary designers are creating new galleries and visitor facilities while restoring and revealing the beauty of the original building. In the past 20 years, over 85% of the museum’s public space has been transformed, improving access and allowing the collections to be more elegantly and intelligently displayed.

It has been a big 12 months for the V&A, with work progressing on a number of major projects. Quinn London began work on the £13m transformation of the V&A Museum of Childhood by architects De Matos Ryan and AOC, with the museum in Bethnal Green to rename itself Young V&A. Work also continued on the V&A’s two new venues in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park at Stratford – V&A East Museum on the waterfront (pictured), by architect O’Donnell + Tuomey, and V&A East Storehouse, where Diller Scofidio + Renfro is leading the design. Work also continues on the Photography Centre extension, due to open in 2023.
