Earlier this week Glasgow City Council was presented with a plaque to mark the inclusion of the Gareth Hoskins-designed The Bridge Arts Centre in the shortlist for this year’s Prime Minister’s Better Public Building Award.

The award recognises new buildings, places and spaces that, through good design, have improved local public services and created a sense of community and local pride.

The Bridge is the only Scottish entrant of the 18 shortlisted for the award. Sebastian Tombs from Architecture and Design Scotland said: “Good design is an important factor in the success of all buildings… We commend all those who have worked on the Bridge project for creating this exciting and inspirational building for the people of Easterhouse.”
