Bond Bryan
Bond Bryan attended the annual Architects’ Journal AJ100 Awards at the Grand Connaught Rooms, London on 22 May 2014.
We rose to 47th place in the AJ100 rankings, which identifies the 100 largest employers of architects in the UK. Bond Bryan Managing Director Jonathan Herbert said, “we are very pleased to have made good progress over the last year; as our workload is increasing we are now looking to recruit more architects to our Sheffield studio.”
Bond Bryan Architects’ Director John Lee is, “very surprised but delighted” to discover that he is on a shortlist of four for the Property Personality of the Year award, to be decided by a poll of visitors to Insider Magazine’s website.
John has been a leading light at Bond Bryan for more than fifteen years working on residential, retail, commercial office and manufacturing projects. Although based in Sheffield, he has also supported the recent establishment of Bond Bryan’s increasingly successful London office.
On 3 July at the Mercure St Paul’s Hotel, Sheffield, Insider will host its South Yorkshire Property Gala Dinner and reveal the winners of the Property Personality of the Year and also the Property Deal of the Year. The annual dinner is now firmly established as a key event in the region.
Voting closes on 30th May; you can nominate John for the award here
BAM Construction and Bond Bryan Architects were very pleased to win Best Education Project for Maltby Academy at the 2014 LABC South Yorkshire and Humber Building Excellence Awards.
Bond Bryan Director Geoff Halliwell said, “This award is a testament to the development of an excellent working relationship between the contractor, the design team and the Local Authority Building Control team.”
The project is now shortlisted for the National LABC Awards to be held in London on 11th November this year.
The Academy’s campus has undergone a transformational change with new buildings sitting alongside refurbished structures to create an integrated environment that supports teaching and learning. In addition a new Business and Enterprise Centre increases the Academy’s presence in the local community.
It was standing room only for our masterclass at this year’s BIM Show Live delivered by “The COBieNATOR”, our BIM guru, Rob Jackson. Rob was then delighted to win the prestigious Best Class Prize at the show’s BIMMY Awards, no mean feat given the high quality of presentations.
Rob used Graphisoft ArchiCAD and Solibri Model Checker to give a live demonstration of COBie spreadsheet creation (utilising IFC). For those unfamiliar with COBie, it is the required data format for UK publicly procured BIM projects from 2016 onwards.
The UK’s largest BIM event, now in its fourth year, attracted over 650 delegates and exhibitors to Manchester on 23/24 April.

We are delighted to have been appointed by The University of Sheffield to design the first two major projects awarded via its new Consultants’ Framework.
The Faculty of Engineering’s “Heartspace” scheme (above) is the latest in a series of projects at the Faculty’s St George’s city centre site. The phased redevelopment and refurbishment of the entire site was triggered by a major study by Bond Bryan, in collaboration with Turner & Townsend and ARUP, which identified a 15-year development framework. Refurbishment works together with a new Bond Bryan designed Graduate School are already close to completion.
The “Heartspace” scheme will enclose an existing courtyard to create an exciting social space and improved communication across the site, plus new research accommodation.
Factory 2050, involving supporters such as Boeing, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems and Spirit AeroSystems, is to be built at the Bond Bryan designed Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre. It will explore new manufacturing techniques, building upon the Centre’s reputation as a global centre of excellence for the design, prototyping and manufacture of high-value components. Nick Clegg, Deputy Prime minister said, “I’m delighted that the University, Business and Government have all come together to make this exciting project happen.”
