A library has won one of the country's leading architecture awards.

The University of Leicester was praised by RIBA, the Royal British Institute of Architects, which celebrates the finest architecture in the region.

Designed by Birmingham-based Associated Architects, the award-winning David Wilson library is at the heart of the main campus. Originally built in the 1970s, the new look library was planned as a 'thought provoking and complementary addition' to the existing landscape.
