CUBRIC Building
Cardiff
Shufflebottom
Highly Commended
Isle of Ely Primary School,
Cambridgeshire
A.C. Bacon Engineering
This new 630-place primary school in Ely has been highly commended
for its unusual use of a steel frame. The roof lines, coloured glazing,
terracotta tiling and the level of detail in the external works have created
a great environment for teachers and children alike.

Shufflebottom provided the structural steel
framework for the £50 million Cardiff University
Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) in
Cardiff city centre. The building comprises 65,000
sqm of accommodation, state-of-the-art scanning
and brain imaging facilities, clinical and
behavioural testing suites, and office and research
space.
Sustainability was an integral part of the design of
this building (it achieved BREEAM Excellent) as
well as its interesting and unique look. This
project is an asset to the university and adds to
the capability of the city. It shows just what this
industry is capable of achieving; helping the
university’s ambition to be a world-leader in
research and innovation.
