Richard Graham MP said the award of a prestigious RIBA National Award for Glen Howells Architects’ designs at Gloucester Services was yet another feather in the cap for the best services in the country. The award recognises the building as a significant contribution to architecture.
“This is well-deserved” Richard said “not only are there fantastic Old Spot sausages and local cheeses, the building is memorable too.”
Liz Truss, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs who recently visited the Services in February said: “I am very pleased to hear Gloucester Services has received the RIBA award. I enjoyed visiting for breakfast there recently and said then that all Motorway Services should look and feel as good as Gloucester Services.”
The recently opened services have previously been awarded the RIBA South West Award as well as the Project Design Category at the 2015 ACE Engineering Excellence Awards.
Other winners of this prestigious award include the Newport Street Gallery and Wilton’s Music Hall in London as well as York Art Gallery.
