The recently completed Oakgrove School at Middleton in Milton Keynes has been entered into the general category of the RIBA 2006 Awards by Architecture MK.

RIBA Awards are given for buildings that have high architectural standards and make a substantial contribution to the local environment. The awards are annual, and have been running continuously since 1966.

The Judging process
The buildings are judged in the first instance by shortlisting panels in each region, who visit schemes individually and meet to produce a list of buildings to be visited in detail by the region's jury. Each regional jury is made up of a regional representative who is usually the chair of the shortlisting panel, lay assessors from various disciplines and the jury Chair, who is a nationally renowned architect. They visit the shortlisted projects, talking to clients and users and assessing design excellence irrespective of style, size or complexity of the project. The jury changes every year.

The award winners will be announced at a Gala Dinner in London in June.
