The Jury Panel led by Roger Hawkins of Hawkins Brown Architects on behalf of the RIBA, said, "The panel were impressed by the variety and quality of the schemes received for consideration. The shortlisted designs all feature elements which would make the University's existing Maidwell building highly distinctive."
"We were delighted to have received so many entries to the competition and the international interest generated was particularly pleasing. The final selection of the five successful teams to go forward to Stage Two of the competition was hotly debated,” said Gill Winder, Director of Estates at the University.
The stage 2 designs will be submitted by 25 February with final presentations held in early March.
