End of Year Show Prize Giving: just look what can be achieved!!
One of the highlights of the academic year is when we come together to celebrate with annual prize giving at the School of Architecture and Design End of Year Show. The picture here was from our fabulous End of Year Show on Hasting Pier (long before we were social distancing). Despite being online this year we will still be awarding a number of prestigious prizes. We are hoping that in these difficult times the prize giving will be an important marker of what has been achieved in exceptional circumstances this year.
The show will be LIVE from 4pm and Prizes at 5PM 03/07/2020. Be there to celebrate the award winners and nominees at 5PM but make sure you register to get the link before 4pm tomorrow.
