Better Public Building Award - City of London Academy
City of London Academy, has won the Prime Minister’s Better Public Building Award for 2006. The comprehensive school in Bermondsey, designed by architects Studio E and with services by Max Fordham LLP, beat off strong competition from 13 other shortlisted schemes to clinch the prestigious prize.
Now in its sixth year, this annual award is jointly sponsored by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and the Office of Government Commerce (OGC). Unlike the Stirling prize, it recognizes excellence in both the design quality and procurement practice of publicly funded building schemes.
