The work comprised of the construction of three new buildings on an existing site within Cope Foundation’s Beechhill Complex in Montenotte, Cork City. These new buildings included a new kitchen facility, a large staff canteen building and a new residential building. This new residential wing was integrated into the existing residential building.
