The RTPI East of England Awards for Planning Excellence is given to outstanding planners, plans and projects in the Eastern region of England.
Our planners picked up Best Project for its work on Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge, a new accommodation block providing student rooms, social spaces, and a café.
Our work for 3 and 4 Station Square, Cambridge, was also highly commended in the Excellence in Planning for a Successful Economy category.
Guy Kaddish, Head of Cambridge Planning and Bidwells’ lead on the Lucy Cavendish accommodation project, said:
“The college’s new building has been designed to facilitate integration across their increasingly diverse student body and foster an engaged, inclusive, and welcoming community to reach out to those groups underrepresented in higher education.
It was important to the college to create a future-proof building that is low energy and low carbon and can also be easily expanded in response to their growth.”
