Clinical Education and Research Centre (CERC) is under construction since June 2015 at University Hospital Limerick (UHL).

The CERC development is a partnership project between UL Hospitals and the University of Limerick (UL) and is co-funded by both the HSE and UL with an overall project cost of circa €12.75m.

The development, which comprises a 3,442m sq four storey building, will accommodate and support the comprehensive educational, training and research needs of both the UL Graduate Entry Medical School and the UL Hospitals medical community across all disciplines.

The new CERC building will accommodate a 150 seat lecture theatre and tutorial rooms on the ground floor, library accommodation and associated facilities on the first floor, academic and administrative and technical support staff offices on the second floor along with education and research facilities on part of the third floor. The remainder of the top floor will be a dedicated research area for the UL Health Research Institute (HRI).

The development will comprise the construction of  a circa  3,442m2 four storey clinical education building containing a lecture theatre, tutorial rooms, library, office accommodation and research facilities, roof mounted plant, and including a ground floor circulation link to the existing hospital and associated external works. The project is being progressed by the HSE in partnership with the University of Limerick. The HSE now wishes to procure a suitably skilled and experienced applicant to carry out these works.

As part of our remit on this project in collaboration with the design project team we designed, manufactured and installed 1534m2 of Precast Flood Super Wideslab® and 317m2 of 300mm Hollowcore  planks and 18 Precast Stairs.

This was a major project so our design and manufacturing teams worked hard with the contractor to meet the tight site schedule providing our precast concrete flooring.
