Cancer centre loses out on design prize

A SCOTTISH cancer centre has lost out in a bid for the UK's most coveted architecture prize.

The Maggie's Centre at Gartnavel Hospital in Glasgow, a radical single-level building in the form of a ring of interlocking rooms, was shortlisted for the Royal Institute of British Architects' (Riba) Stirling Prize.

The £20,000 prize went to the £82 million Sainsbury Laboratory, a new plant science research centre in Cambridge designed by first-time winners Stanton Williams, at last night's ceremony in Manchester.
