Wilmslow Trust has presented Waters Corporation with its inaugural design award for the outstanding design of its new Global Mass Spectrometry Headquarters on Altrincham Road.
The building was chosen for the award by a panel of three members from the Trust's committee – one a local historian and the other two architects.
Christopher Dodson, Chairman of Wilmslow Trust, in presenting a plaque to Brian Smith, Waters Vice President of Mass Spectrometry, explained that the Trust wishes to encourage good building design in Wilmslow given that architecture is the most public of all the arts.
Brian Smith said "I am honoured to receive this prestigious award on behalf of Waters.
"We are pleased to be a part of the local business community and it is very nice to recognised by the Wilmslow trust for the design of our new facility."
The panel also commended the design of 116 and 116a Gravel Lane and the alterations to the Coach & Four.
The Trust invites residents of Wilmslow to nominate any building in Wilmslow which has been built or altered in 2014 and which they consider worthy of an award to Martin Hoyle at [email protected] by 28th February 2015.

This award is a great step forwards for Wilmslow, in encouraging designs which will enhance the town's the town's status, confidence and well being. This will have a greater impact than any pseudo-awards by CEC which just desires to curry favours from companies and is so blatantly politically driven.
