Beaumont Cystic Fibrosis Unit

The project involved constructing a new 3-storey inpatient extension to Beaumont Hospital, covering 1,990 m², dedicated to a 20-bedroom Cystic Fibrosis Unit. The development included a plant room on the lower ground floor, with patient bedrooms located on the upper ground and first floors. Screened plant equipment is positioned on the roof, with new flues extending three additional storeys to above the roof level of the adjacent building.

The facility connects to the hospital via a two-storey bridge at the upper ground and first floors. It also features landscaping, a patient drop-off area, and vehicular access around the building, with vehicles passing under the bridge where the road is lowered.

Construction used a reinforced concrete flat slab supported by columns and a piled foundation. Roof-level plant rooms used steelwork, and the façade is a lightweight steel system. To manage stormwater, green roofs were implemented. The project required extensive service diversions in order for the works to proceed. Significant noise and dust control measures were put in place to protect nearby patient wards.
