The Challenge
The new Bon Secours Hospital at Ballysimon seeks to greatly expand the quality of health services on offer to people living and working in the mid-west region. The facility will testify to a continued commitment to provide technologically advanced healthcare innovation and excellence. The campus will expect to treat more than 50,000 patients annually.
The Story
This new facility will transform day-care surgical and oncology treatments available in Limerick and widen patient-centred services to a growing local population. This hospital is being built on a sustainable site with access to public transport, provision for EV parking and facilities for cyclists. To save energy and to be aware of climate change, the buildings will be equipped with heat pump technology for heating and cooling, green roof technology and natural daylight and ventilation will be used where appropriate.
The Outcome
The delivery of this 150-bed private hospital has been a collaborative approach for all key stakeholders involved, including the Bon Secours Health System, Limerick City & County Council and Kirkland Investments, who are all working together to ensure the delivery of this much-needed private hospital. In conjunction with the adjacent secondary school, currently under construction, Towlerton will create a new sustainable, urban neighbourhood, of which Limerick can be very proud. The development of Towlerton and planned further investment from Kirkland is a huge vote of confidence for Limerick and the mid-west.
