Judges impressed with sustainable design of One Angel Square
Bam Construct鈥檚 拢100m headquarters for the Co-Op in Manchester has been named RICS鈥� project of the year.
The project came out on top of 600 entries for the RICS Awards.
One Angel Square is the largest commercial office building in Manchester and achieved a BREEAM outstanding rating.
The judges said that sustainability had been at the heart of every aspect of the project.
The project fended off competition from the Florence Institute in Liverpool; Hengrove Park Leisure Centre in Bristol and the Clyde Gateway regeneration project to take the award.
Michael Newey, RICS president, said it was a 鈥渃ompelling entry鈥� to the awards and its quality 鈥渟poke for itself鈥� despite a high standard of entries.
He added: 鈥淎s the first BREEAM 鈥榦utstanding鈥� regional office building in the UK, it goes to show that sustainability, cutting-edge design and architectural appeal can go hand-in-hand.鈥�
