Shannon Group's first major construction project of 2022 is underway at Shannon Campus.
The €4m project will involve the refurbishment of two existing buildings (Bays 135 and 137) at Shannon Free Zone West next to the new MeiraGTx facility.
Ennis based Jada Construction have been appointed as the main contractor for the project.
Work has just commenced on site, with 100 jobs being created during the construction and fit-out phase of the project.
"Despite the challenge our business has faced throughout the pandemic, we have continued to improve our customer facilities and offering," said Mary Considine, CEO of Shannon Group.
"This is why it’s full steam ahead with our 2022 property development strategy for our Shannon Campus, providing quality property solutions to attract indigenous and FDI investment," she added.
With a combined square footage of 33,000 sq ft, Shannon Group said the refurbishment of the buildings will create fully fitted out multi-purpose office space and light engineering facilities.
The group said the exterior aesthetics of the buildings will be finished in a similar architectural style to the MeiraGTx building which was previously undertaken by Shannon Group.
Included in the development are 140 upgraded, new car parking spaces with seven dedicated disabled spaces and four Electric Vehicle charging spaces.
It also includes the upgrade of footpaths, public lighting and landscaping in the area around the buildings.
Shannon Group said the project is expected to be completed by July.
