Building of the Year - Industrial

This award is open to any architecture firm working on a project on the Island of Ireland with an industrial function or purpose. Eligible projects may include manufacturing facilities, warehouses, logistics hubs, data centres, or other industrial buildings. The entry should demonstrate excellence in design, efficiency, and sustainability, while also addressing the needs of the client, workforce, and surrounding environment. The size of the projects featured will not be a factor in the judges’ deliberations. This award is not open to fit-out, refurbishment or interior architecture projects. Who can enter: the project architect (individuals, firms, departments), or a project collaborator (if submitted jointly with the architect). If you are not the main project architect, please ensure you have their permission to enter, as we can only accept one submission per project. Entry is by a five-page A4 submission. It should include one project that has been completed within the last 12 months. The judges will be looking for clear information that is backed up by facts and photos illustrating your points, paying particular attention to the criteria listed below:

• Background: Summarise your career or organisation’s background.
• Project: Describe the project with visuals, timeline, size, budget, and purpose.
• Excellence: Show how the design delivers functionality, efficiency, safety, and quality.
• Challenges: Highlight key obstacles and how they were overcome.
• Impact: Outline benefits for sustainability, efficiency, community, and users.
