The project consisted of the design, tender and construction supervision of a two-storey extension and refurbishment to the existing main staff canteen and office administration areas at the Merck Millipore campus in Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork. The feature curved external envelope incorporates structural glazing, aluminium ‘punch’ windows and raised insulated render system.
Completed in 2017, this project was carried out in a live pharmaceutical plant, requiring minimal disruption to company operations, presenting challenges of access and site coordination and involved significant planning with the client and contractor to ensure minimal impact on client staff or operations.
