Procurement by ‘Design as you Build’, by virtue of the developing brief from a standing start and an extremely short construction period to create 125,000 sq feet of office space and a highly serviced Data Centre. The clients’ business of leading-edge technology was reflected in the design, which employed high specification finishes, materials and technology. Glass and lighting were used to articulate the spaces and functions within the building, providing a visual link from the front of house office and marketing accommodation to the back of house technical function within.The Main Contractor, one of Ireland’s largest, noted the construction period for a project of this size and complexity was the fastest ever undertaken by a significant margin. The highly serviced elements of the building resulted in statistics such as a ‘power supply equivalent to 5 petro-chemical plants’, ‘2% of the total availablility of Ireland’ and ‘the ability for the building to be powered by back-up generators for up to 72 hours’.
