Erne Campus at South West College was completed earlier this year, with judges impressed by its sustainability credentials which have seen it yield an anticipated 90 per cent reduction in enery costs for the college.
Accommodating 800 full-time students, 2,000 part-time students and 120 staff, the campus is said to be one of the world's most sustainable educational buildings.
Chairman of the judging panel David Brooks-Wilson said: "The judging panel and I were so impressed with the dedication of the teams behind these winning projects.
"They are a true testament to the tireless dedication of industry professionals across the UK. Their talent and collaborative approaches have resulted in exemplary and innovative schemes that really do represent the very best built projects across the regions.
"Each of the winning projects is having a profoundly positive impact on their local area and RICS is delighted to recognise the hard work that went behind ensuring these projects were delivered successfully, particularly in such challenging and uncertain times as we navigated through the pandemic.
"The teams behind them should be incredibly proud of the part they have played in helping to improve their community and wider local economy."
