Ely Museum has been selected as a Regional Finalist for both the 2023 Civic Trust Awards and the Selwyn Goldsmith Awards for Universal Design. A huge congratulations to architects, HAT Projects.
Hana Loftus from HAT Projects said; “The Civic Trust Awards are rigorously judged through in-person visits, and set a high bar for projects that genuinely contribute to their communities. We are thrilled that the Museum project is a finalist and the hard work of all the team is recognised in this way.”
Since re-opening last year the museum building has provided a welcoming and inspiring space for everyone to engage with heritage and enjoy the collections. The museum also offers great facilities, with a room available to hire.
Civic Trust Awards are given to projects that make an outstanding contribution to the quality and appearance of the built environment. Award level schemes demonstrate excellence in architecture or design, whilst being sustainable, accessible and providing a positive civic contribution.
The Selwyn Goldsmith Awards are selected by a specially convened panel of universal design experts, seeking to celebrate environments or buildings that are responsive, flexible, welcoming, easy to use and occupy; allowing all to use with dignity and equality, aiming to promote and applaud “those schemes which have gone beyond the building regulations, putting people at the heart of the project and showing exemplar design.”
