Gibraltar Chronicle Publication: Tower Refurbishment wins Heritage Award

A significant refurbishment project in Gibraltar has garnered success in the Ministry of Defence’s annual Sanctuary Awards. The awards, which have been running for over 30 years, showcase military and civilian efforts across Defence, both in the United Kingdom and abroad, to protect the environment and to make Defence more environmentally friendly. The Tower Refurbishment Project at HM Naval Base Gibraltar, which involved the full refurbishment of the iconic Command HQ building, has won the prestigious Heritage Award for projects focused on archaeology, historic buildings, historic parks and gardens, historic landscape preservation, museum collections, heritage education and public engagement. “The Tower, a building which plays a central role in the strategic operations across the MoD estate in Gibraltar, was constructed in 1905,” a spokesperson for the MoD said.
