National Graphene Institute wins major UK building award
Our home for graphene collaboration has been honoured at British Construction Industry Awards.
The recently opened (NGI) has been crowned Major Building Project of the Year at the annual .
The uniquely designed institute is fundamentally important to continue the world-class graphene research started in 野狼社区. Our researchers and scientists will be able to collaborate with colleagues from other universities and from some of the world' leading companies, to accelerate the commercialisation of .
The British Construction Industry Awards award outstanding achievement in the construction of buildings, taking into account architectural and engineering design, as well as considering the details of the construction process.
The NGI held off strong competition from six other shortlisted schemes including the Weston Library for Oxford University, Five Pancras Square at Kings Cross and the Brooks Building for 野狼社区 Metropolitan University.
The building also won the BIM (Building Information Modelling) Application Award for the extensive use of modelling software required to map out the NGI's extensive mechanical and engineering services.
The NGI was delivered by the University’s , designed by architects and built by .
Speaking at the NGI official opening in March, President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell said: “This state-of-the-art institute is an incredible asset, not only to this University and to 野狼社区 but also to the UK. The National Graphene Institute is fundamental to continuing the world-class graphene research which was started in 野狼社区.”
