Nine exceptional architectural projects in the West Midlands have been recognized on the Royal Institute of British Architects (Riba) awards shortlist.

The shortlisted schemes span a variety of building types and scales. Among them are a redeveloped railway station for the University of Birmingham and a retrofitted 17th-century farmstead in Warwickshire. Other notable projects include a new Animal Studies Centre, a low-carbon home, a bridge over the River Severn, and a historic building combined with new construction for a history centre.
