RICS Scotland director Graeme Hartley said: "The judges were impressed by the scale and care taken to successfully deliver a very demanding project.
"As a category A-listed building, the team had to be careful to safeguard and enhance the building whilst bringing it into the 21st century.
"The number of visitors endorses the success of the project."
