AECOM to design Belfast Royal Courts of Justice upgrade

INFRASTRUCTURE consulting firm AECOM has been appointed as the design team for the Royal Courts of Justice building service upgrade project in Belfast.

Appointed by the Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service, it will provide design and contract management services and will work in partnership with the Vision 2030 Estate Modernisation Team to develop ambitious plans to upgrade the courts in the centre of Belfast.

The project team will develop a sustainable future design solution to improve the mechanical and electrical infrastructure within the building, as well as some internal reconfiguration.

Brenda O’Loan, project manager at AECOM, said: “We are delighted to be appointed to develop and deliver a design solution for the Royal Courts of Justice. Our Northern Ireland-based team will lead the work, with input from our global network of expert colleagues.

“In my 30 years with AECOM I have worked on local projects such as Belfast City Council’s leisure transformation programme, including Templemore Baths, but it feels very special to have the opportunity to work on such an iconic building in the centre of Belfast.”
