Small Animal Hospital Wins Architecture Prizes

The Small Animal Hospital at the University of Glasgow has won two prestigious architectural awards.

The hospital at the University’s Garscube Campus scooped the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland’s Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award on Friday, as well as the Glasgow Institute of Architects’ (GIA) Supreme Award.

The hospital was designed by Archial Architects for the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at a cost of £15m which was met through public donations, Faculty funds and loans against future fees.

The Andrew Doolan Award is the richest architectural prize in the UK – with the winning designers scooping £25,000. The Small Animal Hospital was praised as ‘unique and ingenious’ for the way in which the building is designed to complement its surroundings. Professor Stuart Reid, Dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded these prizes.

“The hospital is a fantastic building to work in and provides a truly inspiring and professional environment for staff and clients. It is undoubtedly one of the best facilities of its kind in the world.”
