The winner of the Best Health Care Building in the RIAI Irish Architecture Awards 2015, the article explores the influence of the architect Mies van der Rohe on the building's architect. The design solution was a 65,000sqm nine-storey over double-basement extension to the existing hospital, providing 12 state of the art operating theatres including a hybrid theatre, emergency department, 11 outpatient clinics, diagnostic imaging including MRI, and CT, intensive care and high dependency units.
