This project forms part of an ATU plan to increase the delivery of Electrical Apprentices. The addition of two new engineering labs, a general science lab and an engineering workshop to the ATU Galway City Campus is a key step in achieving this goal. The Irish Government’s “Careers in Construction: Action Plan” looks to bring 50,000 new entrants into the construction sector by 2030. Further to providing greater capacity for the delivery of apprentices, upgrading exterior panelling from 1970s concrete panels to insulated architectural panels will provide a significantly improved thermal envelope. This will result in greater comfort in the building with significantly reduced energy consumption. This project brings the interesting challenge of completing construction works on a section of an existing building within a busy university campus. Other areas of the building have remained occupied throughout the construction stage.
