New Acoustics is delighted to have been involved in some more award-winning developments.

The 2010 Civic Trust Awards Ceremony took place at St George's Hall in Liverpool and three of our recent projects were recognised.

One of the 2010 Civic Trust Award Winners was the Potterrow Development for the University of Edinburgh (Bennetts Associates). And two of our other projects were honoured as commendation winners: the Fraser Building in Glasgow (Page Park Architects) and the New Stobhill Hospital, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (Reiach and Hall Architects).

Civic Trust Awards Managing Director, Malcolm Hankey, said: “We were delighted to see such a diverse range of projects submitted for consideration. The Civic Trust Awards celebrate not only design excellence, but also the relationship between structures, places, the environment and local communities. This year’s group of winners successfully illustrate how this relationship can produce effective and imaginative solutions.“

Award win for Howden Park

The Howden Park Centre - an incredible new theatre and arts base in West Lothian - has impressed the judges to be named Building of the Year at the Edinburgh Architectural Association awards.

New Acoustics was heavily involved in the project, ensuring good sound insulation between different theatres that share some facilities, as well as working on the dance studio.

The awards were announced and presented at the Balmoral Hotel on Thursday April 1. More than 40 entries were submitted.

Robert Black, President of the Edinburgh Architectural Association, said: "It is gratifying and encouraging that the profession continues to achieve such a high standard of architecture across a wide variety of building types".

The centre is West Lothian's major arts venue for professional and community groups as well as for functions, conferences and other events. It includes a 300-seat auditorium, rehearsal space and dance studios and is the home of Firefly Youth Theatre. It was designed by Nicoll Russell Studios.
