The University of Huddersfield School of Drama has received a National Bronze award in the 2007 Green Apple Awards for the Built Environment and Architectural Heritage.

The building, already a recipient of the 2006 Yorkshire Renaissance Award for Best Restoration project, involved the sensitive renovation and restoration of two Grade II listed church buildings on the town centre campus.

Opened to plaudits from, amongst others, Chancellor Patrick Stewart, the project was delivered on time and budget, providing stunning performance and rehearsal facilities for use by University students.
