Preston Bus station was once under threat of demolition and often maligned for its Brutalist design.

But now the ‘sensitive’ redesign of the Grade 11-listed building has scooped a Special Award from The Civic Trust for the reuse and adaptation of the building – the latest in a series of accolades.

A comprehensive redevelopment of the project, which ran from 2015 to 2018, included the creation of a new public space, relocation of the coach station, renovations to the building, changes to the concourse to create new waiting areas and relocation of bus stands.
