Sincere thanks to all involved and also to those who will be operating the emergency facility. Sincere thanks also to the NHS staff and carers battling on multiple fronts against the virus.

That’s 3 shortlisted so far! Great news and shows that reusing buildings can really be the way to go.
Fantastic News! An inspiring learning environment in a transformed 1960s building, that reactivates Oxford road and creates a new destination in the city! Well done @bdp_com team!

Some of the best thought out learning spaces I’ve seen. Every square inch of the building contributes to the learning experience

What a lovely and inspiring day. People power saved PBS. John Puttick has done a great job too!
Great day at The @HarrisPreston learning about the @bdp_com Grade II Listed Preston Bus Station. Fascinating talks by @ChrisHardingBDP & others, & excellent tour of the exhibition by @CharlesQuick. Ashamed at how little I knew about this iconic building given my 18 years at BDP!
