ACEI Awards 2026 – UL Student Centre Shortlisted

We are thrilled that the University of Limerick’s Student Centre has been shortlisted for the 2026 ACEI Engineering Excellence Awards in the Structural Medium project category. The project includes a 3,500m2, three-storey over part basement flagship building with a multi-level foyer and ample amenity areas. The structure comprises an exposed reinforced concrete shell, overclad in oak linings, with a brick and limestone façade. Designed and delivered in collaboration with our project partners, the work reflects a shared focus on long-term sustainable design in the built environment.
