Maggie's Centre wins Environment Award

Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners is delighted to have been awarded the Hammersmith Society's Environment Award for the Maggie's Centre at Charing Cross Hospital, Hammersmith, London.  An engraved brass plaque was presented by the Society's chairman to Will Wimshurst - project architect, and Bernie Byrne – Maggie’s London Centre Head, at the Society's AGM at the London Corinthian Sailing Club.

The Hammersmith Society is the principal amenity society for the northern part of the borough (representing the old Metropolitan Borough of Hammersmith). In 1989 the Society inaugurated its annual award for schemes which improve the borough’s environment. Its purpose is to increase interest in the townscape and to promote and support change for the better.

Nominations are invited every year from anyone living or working in Hammersmith for any scheme that makes a positive and beneficial contribution. The scheme may be large or small but it must be visible to the general public.  It can be a new building, an imaginative renovation or adaptation of an existing one, an improved shopfront, a sympathetic piece of road planning or the creation of a green open space. Previous awards have been given to the Ark, St Paul’s Green and the Hammersmith Bridge lighting design.
