The Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre for Worcester College in Oxford and West Court Jesus College in Cambridge have been awarded 2018 RIBA National Awards. The Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre has already won RIBA South Building of the Year and project architect Tom McGlynn was awarded the RIBA East Project Architect of the Year for Jesus College.
Niall attended the Natural History Museum VIP opening of Hintze Hall and the introduction of Hope – the new blue whale skeleton suspended from Alfred Waterhouse’s wrought iron roof structure.
This new exhibit marks a new chapter in the Museum’s engagement with the public on scientific issues. Meanwhile Dippy the Dinosaur has embarked on a UK-wide tour which will culminate in the skeleton being cast in bronze before taking up its new home in the NMLA-designed Museum grounds.
The first phase of this project involves the restoration and introduction of accessibility to the Museum’s famous main entrance and is due to complete in November 2017.
