Sharrow School in Sheffield, won "client of the year" and "sustainable futures" categories and also picked up a silver White Rose Award for Architecture. Sharrow School´s green roof, which is one of its sustainable features, was designed by Dr Nigel Dunnett from the University of Sheffield´s Department of
Landscape.

Dr Nigel Dunnett, a Reader in Urban Horticulture at the University of Sheffield, said: "It was a pleasure to be involved with the Sharrow School project and I am thrilled that they have won so many awards. By creating the urban nature reserve
we have provided an area that students and staff can use for all kinds of educational activities, as well as providing an attractive green space for the development. The living roof we created, and others like them, are essential for achieving sustainable development and I hope more developers follow Sharrow
School´s excellent lead and invest in landscape architecture of this type."Dr Nigel Dunnett, a Reader in Urban Horticulture at the University of Sheffield, said: "It was a pleasure to be involved with the Sharrow School project and I am thrilled that they have won so many awards.
