Civic Trust Awards to continue

from Building Design 2 July 2006
by David Rogers

The Civic Trust Awards are to continue despite the charity going into administration in April.

The 50-year-old awards were set up to recognise the best in architecture, urban design, landscape and public art and the latest news will be widely welcomed by architects and their clients.

Former Civic Trust built environment manager Malcolm Hankey has masterminded the release of the awards from the administrators Grant Thornton, meaning they will operate independently and will be registered as a Community Interest Company.

Hankey said: "The scheme is hugely popular with built environment professionals and I am sure they will also be pleased to see it continue."

The awards will continue to be endorsed by the RIBA and the next round of applications will open this August.
