The AUDE Awards are an annual highlight for the association, giving us a chance to focus on some of the fantastic estates and facilities teams, and their projects, that contribute so significantly to the success of our universities, year-round. The awards highlight and celebrate the exceptional achievements of estates and facilities professionals in the higher education sector.
The winners of the AUDE Awards 2026 were announced on 22 April at the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, as part of the AUDE 2026 Conference, which was hosted by the team at the University of Leeds. We are very pleased to be able to share information on all of our winners, shortlisted and nominated individuals, teams, projects and organisations below.

AUDE look for teams, projects and individuals who have made a significant contribution to enhancing excellence and ensuring university estates provide best value to support the institutional mission and promote professionalism, efficiency and effectiveness. The awards provide an excellent opportunity to showcase sector achievements and allow everyone to learn from the best practice taking place in our institutions today.
