Factors which are taken into consideration include functional stability; visual appearance and harmony of the structure with its surroundings; properties of concrete exploited in the design; innovative use of concrete in composition, structure or form; workmanship and finish; integration of structure and services; value for money.
Having met the stringent requirements for sustainability this project has been the first of its size in the city to be awarded an "Excellent" BREEAM rating. Given its sustainable credentials, it will continue to deliver benefits for its surrounding environment for years to come.
