The Centre also provides an Exhibition and Educational facility for reuse, recycling, sustainable development and ecological building. The Centre has been designed to ensure a minimum carbon footprint in construction and throughout its operational lifetime. The building achieved an SEAI BER of A-2.
Green re-purposing the iconic Ballymun Boilerhouse.
"Purcell engaged with the spirit of the project and worked co-operatively with the team in recycling various elements of the original building into the works in order to arrive at a generally high quality finish. They displayed a positive attitude towards the building process and we enjoyed a good relationship with the whole Purcell team."
