Columbia, Maryland (PRWEB) August 07, 2013 -- The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) recently announced its shortlist for the prestigious Stirling Prize, and four of the six nominees were designed by architecture firms that use Vectorworks® Architect software.

• The University of Limerick, designed by Grafton Architects
• Park Hill, Sheffield, designed by Hawkins\Brown with Studio Egret West

“I’m thrilled to see these firms recognized for their work, and it has been a pleasure supporting the teams to help them get the most out of Vectorworks, whether through seamless collaboration or the efficient management of production information,” said Steven Shorter, architect, consultant and specialist reseller for U.K. Vectorworks distributor Computers Unlimited.
