The 2016 Higher Education Estates and Facilities Awards took place at the Gala dinner on the final night of the annual AUDE conference held at Exeter University recently.

Each year the awards celebrate and highlight the achievements of universities and best practice in the industry, including those who lead the way in estate and facilities management.

The judges were on the lookout for teams, projects and individuals who have made a significant contribution to ensuring university estates provide best value to support the institutional mission and promote efficiency and effectiveness.

The awards were hosted by architect/TV presenter George Clarke.
