The judges said
The Grade A listed St Cecilia’s Hall is Scotland’s oldest purpose designed
concert hall. Originally opened in 1763, it is owned and operated by the
University of Edinburgh and is run as a free, publicly accessible musical
instrument museum and concert room. Following archival research, the
project involved the conservation and repair of the existing building fabric
along with refurbishment and expansion of the gallery spaces and concert
room. The restoration work, which began in 2015, allows the University to
offer more performances and enhance access by increasing the opening
hours of the museum.

The judges said
The consolidation of 1,700 staff from a number of different ScottishPower
operating businesses into its new headquarters is in itself an impressive
achievement but the design strategy and procurement route used to deliver
the building were equally impressive.
The design of the building was fully tested pre- construction and the city
centre location drove the need to develop innovative off-site manufacturing
processes that minimised material storage and deliveries whilst accelerating
construction.
The building has a BREAM Excellent rating providing a healthy working
environment which is further enhanced by its flexible internal layout

The judges said
The recent extension and incorporation of this multi-use facility has given
the town its first dedicated gallery space to a standard which can accept
national collection pieces. It has reinvigorated the public library area and has
a dedicated children’s library and IT suite. The exhibitions focus on local
peoples’ lives and experiences and the architecture sits well in the
Dunfermline heritage area, seamless melding the traditional with the new
and bold. There are displays of public/user feedback in imaginative ways and
the project exudes a feeling of community wellbeing.

The judges said
The property was formerly a somewhat drab 1960’s edifice. The project has
remodelled the exterior, to include vertical PV panels embedded into one wall
face and has removed the unsightly roof top plant to create a glazed box
used by post-grad students and advisors. This roof top re-engineering has
provided breath-taking views over the Edinburgh skyline and provided much
needed additional floor space. The ground floor entry point has been
completely reimagined using building physics applications, to create a foot
flow through new access doors and steps which has also had the benefit of
creating some new public realm space.

The judges said
A substantial energy project with a total investment of around £1bn. The
substation at Blackhillock highlights the importance of a long-term
investment commitment to energy production and its transmission from the
connection of remote wind farms in Caithness along the sea bed to the north-
east corner of Scotland. This highly technical project required a significant
degree of logistical planning, project management, safety procedures and
engagement with the local community. This project is a leading exemplar for
the need and benefits of investing in Scotland’s infrastructure.

The judges said
The project is transformational for Aberdeen City Centre. It has reversed the
negative impacts of the building it replaced and delivered a mixed-use
development that has enhanced the setting of two of the city’s most
important heritage assets. The significance of the new office space is
heightened by its Aberdeen context, where such development has in recent
decades been lost to the urban fringe. Marischal Square will help Aberdeen
City Centre to capture the benefits of the economic success of the city region.
