The multifaceted conservation project at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music received an Award of Merit in 2002 as part of the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation, which have been recognizing the successful conservation of structures, places and properties of heritage value in the region for over two decades. 

'The ambitious conservation and adaptive reuse of the landmark nineteenth-century Gothic complex provides a new focal point for downtown Sydney while raising the standards for conservation in the region. The excellent documentation of the historic structures has been translated with great clarity in the conservation process, resulting in the rigorous restoration of the historic building fabric, the removal of unsympathetic additions and the careful distinction between the new and the old. The conservation project has negotiated the considerable technical and structural challenges posed by 150 years of changes to the buildings with high technical accomplishment and great sensitivity, particularly in terms of material treatment. The project balances attention to detail with urban-scale flair, showcasing archaeological finds on the one hand, while smoothly integrating the restored structures and contemporary buildings into the Botanic Gardens on the other.' — 2002 UNESCO Heritage Awards Jury Citation
