We are specifically experienced in the fast track design, project management and delivery of large scale owner occupier datacentres for notable data space providers.
What we do:
We have delivered over 200,000m2 of datacentre over a variety of sites. Presently we have additional 200,000m2 of datacentre at varying stages of design and production. Our delivery orientated project management skills aligned with a pragmatic and honest design approach offers assured hands for clients negotiating Ireland’s localised planning and development regulations. We proactively manage risk to navigate prudent routes for efficient building procurement.
We consider each project in a phased manner accounting for energy security, secure access to fibre networks along with scoping for EIS and contextual environmental considerations. Early integration with the client security design teams enhances project delivery to evolving client standards. We are at the forefront of BIM collaborative environment using federated models and clash detection though Navisworks. Project managing face to face meeting with the full construction team, nurturing relationships and building on our experience to streamline the delivery process.

Datacentre Projects
SUSTAINABILITY
At Kavanagh Tuite we emphasise that the process of 'green design' is the basis of all good architectural design, not an optional add-on. Achieving it requires committed integration of the whole design team from the very beginning, but it has to be architect-led from the position of informed professional knowledge, commitment and responsibility.
Examples of such sustainable projects include:
Roebuck Hall student Residence which was the first building to Passivhaus standard to be built to this scale in Ireland.
Marlborough Street
