A hat-trick for RAMM and its architects at the RIBA South West Regional Awards

RAMM’s redevelopment project and its architects, Allies and Morrison, have received further acclaim, winning the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) South West Regional Award 2013 last night. RAMM also won South West Building of the Year and the South West Conservation Award.

The RIBA Awards programme champions and celebrates the best of British architecture:

“This is a nationally important project, made all the remarkable when the full logistical story is explained (for example, only 0.01% of the museum archive is on display in RAMM). A&M’s attention to detail and respect for the ‘timeline’ of the project (Roman/Norman/Medieval/High Victorian) is evident at every turn. This care has been carried through by the contractor to produce a high-quality finish throughout.

“Exeter City Council should be applauded as Client. The passion and commitment shown in the vision, funding and delivery of this building is extraordinary. Empowered by the community, the project now sits as an important ingredient of the emerging Culture Quarter and has become an educational and tourist focal point, and a city treasure.”
