Forth Valley College’s £78 million Falkirk Campus has been short-listed for the 2022 Stirling Prize for the UK’s best new building.
The RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Stirling Prize is the highest accolade in UK architecture and recognises the most significant building of the year for the evolution of architecture and the built environment.
The College is up against five other buildings, and is only one of two buildings on the shortlist out with London.
The Stirling Prize finalists were chosen from the Royal Institute of British Architect’s (RIBA) 29 national award winners.
Forth Valley College’s Falkirk Campus was awarded this accolade in June, along with a RIAS (Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland) prize for 2022.
The campus was submitted for the awards by architects Reiach and Hall, who designed all three of the College’s campuses.
The overall winner will be announced on Thursday 13 October 2022 at the RIBA, 66 Portland Place, London.
Professor Ken Thomson OBE, Principal of Forth Valley College, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled that our Falkirk Campus is a finalist for the prestigious 2022 Stirling Prize. This is exciting for both the College and Scotland. Our stunning campus has captured the imagination of the architectural world and ensured we have successfully achieved our vision for the learning environments of the future. Our inspirational, contemporary design and progressive approach to space across the campus is set to benefit learners for years to come.
“The recognition for all our campuses has also demonstrated excellent public investment and proved the important role Forth Valley College is playing across both the education sector and the country as a whole.”
