The £50m No.1 Nottingham Science Park project by specialist regeneration developer Blueprint has been nationally recognised as the premier example of sustainable development on a UK science park. It has won the UK Science Park Association award for innovative design of a building demonstrating environmental sustainability.

The award is the latest in a string of successes at national and regional awards. Paul Wright, chief executive of the UK Science Park Association, said: “The judges felt that this award should go to No. 1 Nottingham Science Park as it is setting and achieving a new standard for environmentally sustainable development on UK science parks.”
