Contruction Excellence Awards
01 February 2012
Farrans Construction has again confirmed its status as the “Contractor of Choice” in Northern Ireland by winning the Overall Award for the Belfast Boys Model School project in the recent Construction Excellence Awards 2011 competition. The impressive school, which also won the Education Infrastructure award category in the competition, emerged as the ultimate winner for 2011 against stiff competition from the other 14 award category winners.
The Boys Model School is now very much the flagship of the Belfast Education and Library Board estate as it provides a template of how a school can not only meet the needs of its pupils and staff but also those of the wider community. The Farrans design also provided over 1,000M2 of community facilities in the form of youth clubs, workshops and a medical centre within the socially disadvantaged area of north Belfast.
