RSUA Building of the Year receives UK-wide RIBA Award

The winner of Northern Ireland’s Building of the Year accolade at the RSUA Design Awards 2025, the Student Hub at Queen’s Business School by TODD Architects has received a RIBA National Award.

The RIBA National Awards are given to buildings across the UK in recognition of their significant contributions to architecture. 2025’s winners have been selected by the jury, from the RIBA Regional Award winners.

The RIBA jury said, “The new building has two floors facing the front of the historic structure, separated by a neat lawn, and steps down to three floors on the other side, within the embrace of the woodland. This careful modelling ensures that views of the upper woodland canopy are protected.”

The shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize for the best building of the year will be drawn from the 20 RIBA National Award-winning projects. The shortlist will be announced on 4 September. To view the 20 RIBA National Award Winners, click here.
