RSUA DESIGN AWARDS 2024
ROYAL SOCIETY OF ULSTER ARCHITECTS RECOGNISES SIX
Ulster University’s new Belfast campus has been awarded the Liam McCormick prize for Northern Ireland’s Building of the Year 2024 by the Royal Society of Ulster Architects (RSUA). It was among six projects recognised at the RSUA Design Awards 2024, held on May 9 in The MAC Belfast, with Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd as guest of honour. The £364m campus, stacked 14 floors high in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter, was designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, with McAdam Design, Scott Tallon Walker and White Ink Architects. The project also received the Living Places Award, which honours developments that excel in placemaking. The judges noted how ‘the complex, expansive brief has been accommodated on a challenging, irregular site through the architects’ intelligence and skill’ and how the project is ‘socially, economically, and culturally important both to Belfast itself and to the very idea of city’. NI’s House of the Year accolade was won by House on Redbrae Farm, by McGonigle McGrath architects with Alice Nickell named Project Architect of the Year for her work on this rural Co Down project. McGonigle McGrath also scooped a second design award for Longhurst, a private house in south Belfast. Hall Black Douglas Architects won two OUTSTANDING PROJECTS AT ITS DESIGN AWARDS 2024 HELD ON MAY 9 IN THE MAC BELFAST… NI’s Building of the Year goes to UU’s Belfast campus
