In November 2024, not only are we celebrating our 9th anniversary but also our most important award win to date – our first Structural Award.
To be shortlisted, one out of 30, alongside internationally renowned practices like Arup was a HUGE moment for us. And then to win this award! Wow! It’s the highest accolade bestowed upon structural engineering practices.
Delivering buildings and spaces that people enjoy using is the ultimate goal for designers. Winning awards is the icing on the cake. Awards aren’t everything but, for an SME like ours, they mean a great deal. They highlight and promote excellence, showcase expertise, boost brand awareness, and build credibility.
This is such an incredible milestone for us, and we couldn’t be prouder. Well done, and thank you, to everyone involved in the Mary Ward Centre.
The Structural Awards are judged on four key attributes: planet, people, process, and profession with Mary Ward Centre praised in the planet and process categories. To read our Structural Award entry, please follow this link.
The engineers played a fundamental role in giving the client and stakeholders the confidence to strengthen and reuse the existing building rather than demolish. Their diligent and determined approach demonstrated a viable future for the existing structure. The project is a substantial retrofit and vertical extension which doubled the building size, achieving a complete transformation with significant carbon savings. The before and after transformation is remarkable.
