Chair of the judges, Fiona Reynolds, said,
"We are thrilled and stimulated by the quality of the entries this year, with a wide range of projects of varying scales. Shortlisting was a challenge, as there was so much to celebrate, and we look forward to our site visits and the chance to see the work in more detail.”
Cllr. Dr. Tumi Hawkins, South Cambridgeshire District Council’s Lead Cabinet Member for Planning Policy and Development Management and judge for the awards said,
“It is wonderful to see the wealth of design and construction talent in Greater Cambridge in these awards and it is encouraging to see more entries from South Cambridgeshire in this year’s showcase. We look forward to the Awards Ceremony on Monday 4 March where we can celebrate the achievements of the architects, designers and construction professionals.”
