Glasgiven Contracts, in partnership with Knox Clayton Architects, delivered the building on time, under budget and to a very high specification. A score of BREEAM Excellent is anticipated.

The building is an attractive, innovative and environmentally sensitive structure utilising a Biomass Boiler, Solar Water Panels, extensive use of wood including structural 'Glulam' beams, enhanced insulation and many other features to deliver a low carbon design.

The Project Team fully embraced OGC’s 'Achieving Excellence' requirements utilising Risk & Quality Management, Sustainability, Design Quality Indicators, Health & Safety (including BuildSafeNI) and the Considerate Contractors scheme and an NEC3 Option C Target Price Contract.  The project encountered a number of difficulties including delays in funding and the requirement to build around, and maintain, elements of the existing Mountain Centre including a Climbing Wall.

The new Centre offers a range of modern facilities including a canoe training pool and is residential with full DDA and child protection arrangements. The development is complemented by extensive landscaping, Public Art and a New High and Low Ropes Course.
