The University's 539-seat Boilerhouse Lecture Theatre received a major award at the Master Builders' Association presentations for 1993. The project won the prize for Extensions, Refurbishments or Alterations.
The citation said, in part,
"the panel was impressed with the vision and idea to create the lecture theatre within the existing, unused boiler house ... The cost of construction was far cheaper than the price that would have been required for a new building and the project time of nine months from design to project completion was a tribute to the team's effort."
