Banyard Associates - Manchester Civil Justice Centre
Manchester Civil Justice Centre
Officially opened by the Queen in March 2008 the £113million Manchester Civil Justice Centre was created to ‘provide a sustainable building of civic generosity and European significance’.
The new building is the biggest court complex to be built in the UK since the Royal Courts of Justice in London, and was named Project of the Year 2008 at the prestigious Building Magazine Awards. It also won Major Project of the Year, for its outstanding sustainability credentials at the Green Construction Awards in 2007 and the Rose Design Awards’ Architecture Grand Prix Gold Award and Best Public Building Gold Award.
Banyard Associates were jointly appointed by Allied London and the department of Constitutional affairs. We were responsible for validating the commissioning process, which included checking all designs, advising on progress, witnessing/verification of the building services and specialists systems.
