We are proud to announce that our University Station in Birmingham has been shortlisted for a Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) West Midlands Award 2026. The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) awards are prestigious accolades celebrating excellence in architecture, recognizing projects in the UK and internationally that improve lives through design, innovation, and sustainability.
Working with Mott MacDonald, the new station was constructed on behalf of the West Midlands Combined Authority and designed by Associated Architects. The project stands as a landmark in infrastructure design, combining architectural excellence with environmental sensitivity and meaningful community benefit.
The project demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability, with every design decision focused on minimising environmental impact while delivering long‑term value.
The use of Design for Manufacture and Assembly and off-site fabrication allowed the use of high-strength concrete and minimised any concrete wastage. The exposed finishes also minimised the need for painting, finishing and fire protection. The use of Modern Methods of Construction systems for the external cladding reduced the amount of embodied carbon from the original scheme design.
