The new school building will provide a 29 classroom school, with a library and a 2 Classbase ASD Unit. The current works will include internal services and finishes to the new shell and core school building, as well as civil engineering and external finishes works.

We look forward to progressing these works to completion with the Contractor Carroll O’Keeffe & Co Ltd on behalf of the Board of Management of Mercy Convent NS Naas for the benefit of the staff and especially the students of this growing School. With the support of the Department
of Education under Project Ireland 2040.

The last of the accommodation to be refurbished following the devastating fire at Wexford General Hospital in March 2023 has now been handed back to the HSE and Wexford General Hospital. This project has been extremely demanding and challenging with enormous time pressure and only been possible due to collaborative approach adopted by HSE Capital & Estates, the management of WGH, the Design Team and the Main Contractor. A second phase of works is now commencing and will see the replacement of temporary measures that were be taken to get wards and departments open within the shortest time possible. Temporary accommodation will also be removed in the coming months.

We are delighted to have our design for the extension to Dunshaughlin Community College feature in the July 2024 edition of LMETB Capital, Estates, Climate & Sustainability Report.

Project Details

The new MRI Suite and additional radiological and emergency department facilities at Regional Hospital Mullingar has been successfully completed and handed over. Commissioned by the HSE with funds for the MRI machine raised locally, this new facility will provide diagnostic imaging services for adults and children. The strong form of the 5 storey ward block is extruded on 2 stories and finished in cladded panels of a complementary colour. A single storey element is finished in red brick to match the existing hospital building. The interior has a warm bright atmosphere, with universal access for both inpatient and outpatient cohorts.
