Will Gains wins RIBA Student Award
Congratulations to Will Gains, who received a RIBA Student Award for his final design project as part of his degree at Leeds Beckett University. Will was awarded the Presentation prize at the RIBA Awards earlier this month.
The schemes submitted for the North East and Yorkshire awards were designed by students from schools of architecture with RIBA validated and candidate courses in the North East and Yorkshire region. The University of Newcastle, University of Northumbria, Leeds Beckett University, University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Huddersfield participated.
This accolade has come hot on the heels of his First Class results for his BA (Hons) Architecture Degree and RIBA Part 1 and his recognition from the West Yorkshire Society of Architects – Academic Award for Highest Achieving 3rd Year Student.
In 2003, Will joined our Academy Programme based in our Skipton office working whilst he completed his degree on a part-time basis over the last six years. He has become a highly valued member of the Bowman Riley team and will be continuing his career with us by transferring to join our London team.
Will is now part of the new RIBA initiative for Apprenticeship Architects and will continue his study with the part-time RIBA Part 2/3 course in London starting this September.
Bowman Riley values people and it is a core value to help people realise their ambitions. Will’s academic success and his transfer to our office in the capital demonstrate our ability to nurture emerging talent.
