We’re excited to share that the University of Kent has been named finalist, with Docking Station, for Construction Project of the Year 2025 at the Kent Invicta Chamber Awards.

This recognition celebrates more than a building, it’s about reimagining what’s possible. Docking Station is transforming a historic site into a space where creativity, research, and technology connect. It’s a project built on collaboration, sustainability, and a shared vision for the future of innovation in Medway and Kent.
Being shortlisted is a proud moment for everyone who’s helped us bring this bold idea to life, from the design and construction teams to our partners, funders, and the local community who continue to support this transformative project.
We’re proud to see the Docking Station project recognised among Kent’s most outstanding developments and look forward to the awards ceremony at Westenhanger Castle, Hythe on 20th November 2025.
Docking Station is funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund, Arts Council England, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government as well as the Colyer Fergusson Charitable Trust and led by the University of Kent’s Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries.
