St Paul's wins prestigious conservation award
25 May 2009

The £40 million St Paul’s Cathedral Tercentenary Restoration Project has scooped the overall London Project of the Year at the prestigious RICS Awards.
The RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) Awards are a celebration of built and natural environment projects that recognise excellence, value for money and a commitment to building conservation.
The London Project of the Year Award recognises the 10 year scheme to revitalise St Paul’s Cathedral carried out by Martin Stancliffe Architects / Purcell Miller Tritton. This is the first time in its long history that the building has been comprehensively restored inside and out.
The extensive programme of cleaning and repair has included interior and exterior cleaning and refurbishment, re-lighting and liturgical project phases. The RICS award also recognises the extensive work that has been carried out to improve provisions for visitors with disabilities including a new entrance and lift.
The St Paul’s Tercentenary Project now goes forward to the final awards ceremony in October where it will compete with projects throughout the UK for the award of RICS Project of the Year.
