Horizon Therapeutics HQ

Challenges

The Horizon Therapeutics Global Headquarters Fit-out project was completed in October 2021 and encompassed 62,000 sq. ft. of Corporate Office Space over Six Floors and Double Basement areas. The Fit-Out includes a Gym, Central Feature Circulation Stairs, Townhall Bleacher Seating area over two floors, Canteen, Corporate Dining Kitchen, Recreation & Meeting Room Suites, ICT, UPS & Client Switch-rooms.

The Metec Consulting Engineers Fit-Out scope also included designing an exposed Building Services installation within the Main Open Plan Areas which achieved the Building LEED Platinum & B3 BER Certification. The main challenge of the project was to alter the Base Build Electrical Infrastructure to provide a single Tenant Utility Metered supply which also fed the Mission Critical UPS Backed IDT Services whilst maintaining the flexibility to revert to the Base Build provision at the end of lease with minimal intervention.

Successes

Testament to the success of the project was the level of detailed co-ordination undertaken by both the Design & Construction Team during the Covid-19 lock down period which resulted in the seamless deployment of the Building Services Installation when construction activities resumed after the Government imposed lock-down.

The Fit-Out Design utilised the most energy efficient and best coefficient of performance equipment to meet with the rigorous criteria set out by the Base Build LEED & Energy Rating requirements.
