Three property schemes in Sheffield and a fourth from Doncaster have reached the short list of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' Pro Yorkshire Awards.
Sheffield University's award- winning Information Commons has been short-listed for the Design and Innovation Award, while Endcliffe Student Village is vying for the Regeneration Award.

Sharrow infant and junior school has been short-listed for the Community Benefit, Sustainability, Regeneration and Design and Innovation Award and Cusworth Hall and Park in Doncaster has been chosen for the Building Conservation Award.

Colin Harrop, Chairman of the RICS regional Board and chartered surveyor with King Sturge in Leeds, said: "We received strong support for this year's awards.

"In fact the Pro Yorkshire Awards attracted more entries than any of the other RICS regional property awards.

"All four of the projects short-listed in South Yorkshire are a credit to the region, and illustrate the important, skilful work that chartered surveyors and property professionals in the area have completed.

"Their inclusion in the short list puts South Yorkshire on the map as an area that offers world-class, innovative buildings, I wish them all the very best of luck."
