The shortlist is completed by £32 million Nucleus Building at the University of Edinburgh by Sheppard Robson. AdvertisementSet up 23 years ago in 2002, the RIAS Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award marks the climax of the RIAS’s annual awards programme. It is named after Scottish architect and developer Andy Doolan, who, the RIAS states, ‘passionately believed in the importance of promoting great design and making architecture accessible to everyone’. In his memory, the Doolan Award seeks to find and celebrate the best building in Scotland each year, with ongoing support from the Scottish Government. Proudly integrated into the local community, the Nucleus Building is a considered, enduring and generous example of civic architecture, that responds to a multifaceted brief and sets a powerful precedent for Scottish university design.
