THE COMPETITION:

The RIBA Competitions Office has been appointed to run a new open design competition on behalf of a private client for the design of a new office building, to be built on a prominent location close to Preston City Centre. This is a unique opportunity as the client has high aspirations for an exceptional building that will have a strong visual presence in a prominent location at the entrance to a major business park. The building must provide modern, flexible accommodation - a high quality office environment for many years to come. The building should provide 40,000 sq ft (gross) of accommodation on up to four storeys. The anticipated budget if £150/sq ft, which is considerably higher than the normal figure for a typical commercial building in the Preston area.
