SISK COMPLETES UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL LIMERICK – PHASE 1 WARD BLOCK


John Sisk & Son (Sisk) is delighted to announce the completion of the new Acute Inpatient Ward Block – Phase 1 at University Hospital Limerick.

This landmark healthcare facility represents a major step in providing state-of-the-art clinical accommodation for patients and staff. Delivered in a live hospital environment, the project showcases precise planning, phased delivery and seamless coordination with multiple stakeholders.

The project involved a horizontal and vertical extension above the live Emergency and Renal Departments, delivered within a fully operational acute hospital environment. It includes 96 single en-suite bedrooms, including bariatric isolation room facilities, significantly enhancing patient capacity and comfort. Careful phasing, strict logistical control, and robust environmental measures in collaboration ensured hospital operations continued seamlessly throughout construction.
The building integrates modern structural, façade and building services solutions, delivering a high-quality, HTM Compliant, resilient clinical environment that supports both patients and staff.

 

Speaking at the official opening, Leanne Broderick, Managing Director, Regional Building, Sisk said: “A huge thank you to the HSE, HSE Capital & Estates, University Hospital Limerick, the design and professional team, campus stakeholders, and our supply chain partners for their collaboration and commitment throughout the delivery of this important project. Their shared expertise and dedication were key to its success.

We also wish to thank the hospital staff, service users, and visitors for their patience, cooperation, and understanding during the works. Their support and tolerance were invaluable to the successful delivery of the project.”
