KEYNSHAM Recycling Hub has been shortlisted in the Construction Excellence South West Awards 2025.
The facility, completed in early 2024, is one of five shortlisted in the category for building projects over £5 million, and the entries will be narrowed down to three following a public vote.
The £40 million hub has consolidated Bath & North East Somerset Council’s operational facilities, waste and recycling collections, disposal and fleet management service, from three sites across the B&NES area.
It was designed to be operationally efficient in light of the climate and ecological emergencies declared by the council. Solar panels on the roof generate 780+ kWp of clean energy, some of which will be used to power a new electric vehicle fleet, with the excess sold back to the grid to generate revenue for the council.
The project created a biodiversity net gain of more than 17%, with the planting of 210 new native trees and 500 metres of hedgerow.
The recycling hub was submitted to the awards by SRA Architects, the Bath-based company that acted as lead designer for the council.
You can vote for the Keynsham Recycling Hub on the Construction Excellence South West website. The deadline is Friday July 4 at 11.55pm.
The award ceremony will be held at Aerospace Bristol on July 17.
