Read about the winner and shortlisted entries for this year’s Refurbishment Project of the Year award

Winner: Museum of Making, Derby Silk Mill

Entered by Derby Silk Mill Alliance

Celebrating the area’s rich history of innovation, the renovation of the 1721 Museum of Making in the Derwent Valley Mills Unesco World Heritage Site has saved an iconic public asset regarded as the world’s first modern factory. The scheme has brought the whole building back into use for the first time in 50 years. During construction, workshop spaces were prioritised to enable early handover and so that members of the public and volunteers could take part in the fit-out.
