Associated Architects is pleased to announce that their design for University College Birmingham’s “McIntyre House” has been shortlisted for an RIBA West Midlands 2016 Award.

The recently completed 7,200sq.m project is the first phase of the College’s new campus masterplan and acts the gateway to future developments. The building provides students with 24 hour, seven days a week access to a new student hub, two large lecture theatres, various breakout spaces, teaching accommodation, IT suite and a 200 seat cafe.

Jonathan Hines, chairman of the judging panel, said: “The jury was impressed by the overall standard of quality of the buildings submitted this year. The range of buildings, from residential projects to a major infrastructure scheme, was quite striking and made our job a challenging one. Congratulations to all who have been shortlisted and we look forward to announcing the winners in April.”

Good luck and well done to all involved
