ARUP supporting research at DIT Grangegorman
ARUP Supporting Research: (LtoR) Professor Gerry Farrell, Dean of College of Engineering & Built Environment; Barry McAuley, PhD Researcher at DIT; Jerry Mehigan, ARUP Trust.
DIT Foundation and the College of Engineering & Built Environment would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Ove ARUP Trust for a generous donation of €5,000 to support research at the DIT Grangegorman campus.
DIT Grangegorman provides unrivalled opportunities for research and learning. With the support of ARUP DIT PhD researcher, Barry McAuley will use the live Grangegorman project to establish best practices in pre-tender processes that will ensure any pitfalls can be avoided in future works packages – not just in Grangegorman, but in other publically and privately funded projects. The Grangegorman Project is effectively a programme of works consisting of numerous diverse works packages. There is an unrivalled opportunity, focusing on the Grangegorman project, to produce an inclusive FM strategy to aid the development of effective output specifications that are more closely aligned with the client’s needs.
Barry’s research fits in closely to ARUP’s values, its distinctive culture and an intellectual independence that encourages collaborative working. Arup is committed to using expertise, creativity and innovation to make this world a better place for all.
