Architect: Bond Bryan, Sheffield
Client: York College
Judges Comments: a building which is a landmark in the development of education in York, offering outstanding facilities for further education and training. The quality of the building is (appropriately) that of the commercial sector – the college has the ethos of a modern HQ, with a really impressive atrium which is an interactive social hub, with shops, cafes, restaurant etc – even a travel agent. The architecture is conventional but effective for its purpose and the atrium really does impress.
