Gradel Quadrangles shortlisted for RIBA South Awards 2026

New College's Gradel Quadrangles have been shortlisted, along with 12 other projects, for the RIBA South Awards 2026. 

The RIBA Regional Awards champion and celebrate the UK's best architecture that shows a commitment to design and create buildings and spaces that enhance people's lives. 

All shortlisted projects receive a visit from a regional jury, and the winning projects will be announced later in the spring. 

RIBA South Jury Chair, Claire Taggart, Associate Director at Hayhurst and Co, said: 

“This year's RIBA South shortlist is delightfully diverse, with projects demonstrating excellence across many different aspects. The shortlist celebrates ambitious and original design, exceptional detailing and craft, innovative adaptation and retrofit, meticulous repair and restoration and brave client and project team collaborations. The jury were particularly heartened to see sustainable agendas at the heart of many of the entries- through adaptive re-use, low-carbon construction and commitment to ambitious low-energy and net-zero strategies.

Congratulations to the shortlisted projects and their teams. The jury are excited for the opportunity to explore them and to meet those who made them happen.”
