A Galashiels gallery, a Merkinch primary school and an Edinburgh housing project are amongst the winners of the RICS Awards 2022 in Scotland.
The awards recognise some of the most impressive recent buildings, with projects judged across the five categories of community benefit, commercial development, public sector, residential, and heritage.
The winners in Scotland are as follows:
- Heritage: Provost Skene’s House, Aberdeen
- Commercial Development: Campus Central, University of Stirling, Stirling
- Community Benefit: Merkinch Primary School and Family Centre, Merkinch
- Public Sector Project: The Great Tapestry of Scotland Gallery, Galashiels
- Residential Project: Canonmills Garden, Edinburgh
The regional winners have now been shortlisted in the national awards, taking place in October, and will compete at the national RICS Awards Grand Final.
Colin Smith MRICS, chair of the judging panel, said, “These winning projects are a true testament to the hard work of property professionals in Scotland. The pandemic has led to the industry facing much uncertainty and challenging conditions, but we were delighted, and very proud, to see such innovative building projects appearing across our cities and towns.
“The teams behind them have worked tirelessly and with incredible vision to create projects which provide tremendous benefit across a diverse range of areas. Through collaborating with other professionals, local surveyors have shown that they have the talent to deliver exemplary projects. The RICS recognises the skills and dedication that the teams behind these projects had in ensuring their successful delivery, and making a positive impact across Scotland.”
