RICS has today named the Roundhouse campus Derby College鈥檚 ambitious 拢48m regeneration project its 2010 project of the year. The vocational skills college provides educational facilities for 2,500 students within new buildings and Grade II Listed railway sheds. 

The development has transformed the crumbling remains of Derby鈥檚 extensive Victorian railway works into Derby College鈥檚 new flagship vocational campus.

The project team behind the 18,000m2 new-build Derby College had already won the regeneration category and the project of the year award at the RICS East Midlands awards in May.

Ian Harris, Maber project director, said: 鈥淲e are absolutely delighted to win this award. This is easily the best preserved early purpose-built railway works in the world. The buildings had been abandoned and falling down for 20 years. There were all sorts of problems due to rainwater pouring in and some significant areas of floors and roofs had collapsed.

鈥淚 think the most interesting bit of engineering was the roof to the roundhouse which had been designed in 1839 by Robert Stephenson.鈥�

Over 450 building projects entered the RICS Awards.

Other winners are:  

• Blencow Hall, Penrith (building conservation)
• Scala Cinema & Arts Centre, Prestatyn (community benefit)
• Stonebridge Estate, London (regneration)
• New Library, Queen鈥檚 University, Belfast (sustainability)
