Sustainable building prize winner will join famous name projects

The City of London is seeking applicants for its sustainable buildings award one of the Sustainable City Awards.

The prize, co-sponsored by the BRE and the Worshipful Company of Chartered Surveyors, can be awarded to any project in the UK.

“The category aims to recognise and reward excellence in sustainable building design for new build and refurbishment,” the Corporation in a press release.

Last year’s winner of the award was White Young Green’s Eco centre at Cockermouth School, Cumbria. The £1.25m project scooped the prize for the way that “sustainable development was woven into the fabric of the project from the very first.”

In 2007, the Helionix Design’s Pines Calyx conference centre, Kent, scooped the prize. Other categories in the Sustainable City Awards are procurement, travel and transport and investment

Those wishing to be entered into the competition should visit the Awards site to download an application form or email sca@corpoflondon.gov.uk.
