The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) advertised the competition to their 2,000 subscribers within the RIBA south west bulletin.

6 Stage 1 Concept Designs were received on 17th February 2012 and 3 of these have now been short-listed to go through to Stage 2 – the detailed design stage of the competition.
