Evans Vettori Architects’ Scharoun-inspired Dryden Enterprise Center for Nottingham Trent University and Jonathan Hendry Architects’ Kingsfield Pond were among nine projects shortlisted for last year’s regional awards, but both failed to win.
As well as the two re-shortlisted projects, this year’s six contenders include a 10-home conversion by Studio Partington and a £1.4bn canalside mixed-use project by Jestico + Whiles.
Also on the 2024 shortlist is a derelict warehouse converted into a school by Curl la Tourelle Head Architecture, and a contemporary residence by Greenaway Architecture.

Ian Bramwell, director of Mole Architects and chair of the RIBA East Midlands jury, said this year’s East Midlands shortlist “covers an exciting range of projects”.
He added: “From homes carefully designed to meet the specific needs of clients, to innovative design solutions that address the climate emergency and creatively respond to the cost of living crisis, as well as breathing new life into urban areas, the architecture showcases a wide range of Positive potential in improving our lives.”
Regional juries will now visit and evaluate all shortlisted projects, with winning projects announced in the spring.
The winning scheme will also be considered for a number of special RIBA East awards, including the Sustainability Award and the Building of the Year Award.
They will also compete for the RIBA National Award, with results to be announced in the summer.
Shortlists for the RIBA Stirling Building of the Year Award will be selected from winning projects across the country, with the winner announced in October.
