A £50m world class facility QUEENS UNIVERSITY BELFAST
If your concept of a library is just books on shelves then a visit to this state of the art facility would redefine that view. A major architectural achievement, this new build 18,000m2 4 storey building contains not only books but also meeting rooms, IT suites and fully serviced study stations.
Special secure areas for historical documents and the unique CS Lewis reading room required not only complex technical solutions but also the highest quality of finishes and installation which is very obvious in the newly opened Library.
Blackbourne completed the £4.1m Electrical contract on budget and on time despite the fact that the overall works were running two months late due to unforeseen site issues.
