Bath’s Theatre Royal has won the award for best small commercial building in the 2011 LABC National Building Excellence Awards, which took place in London earlier this week.
The submission by Bath architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studions beat 12 other shortlisted entrants from all the other LABC regions in the UK and follows the success of theatre at the BCIAwards.
The awards recognise the importance of building control in England and Wales in creating safe, accessible and sustainable buildings that are constructed to high standards.
Judges said: “The Theatre Royal is one of the most prestigious neo-classical buildings in central Bath but many of its internal spaces required updating. The team worked closely with building control throughout to complete the project on time and budget – which was critical as a new season was set to open.”
More than 500 guests, including senior Government and building control officials, along with contractors, engineers and architects, attended the awards, hosted by Channel 4 News's Jon Snow.
