PJ Hegarty was a key project stakeholder in the Bernal Project and the contract included both construction of the innovative Analog Device Building and the coordination of M&E installations in this highly serviced facility. Designed using Building Information Modelling (BIM), it was one of the first university buildings to receive an Excellent rating from the BREEAM sustainability assessment. It also won the 2016 Building Project of the Year Award at the Irish Building & Design Awards, which recognise excellence in the Irish building and design sectors.
