Commenting on the completed project, Edward O’Hare, Contracts Manager at OHMG said, “The school is an excellent example of our capability in delivering brilliance in the education sector within Northern Ireland. The project also demonstrates how well our design and construction teams were able to collaborate and successfully deliver the new school while overcoming the recent construction industry hurdles. “The project was also a testament to our programming and liaison skills, which helped us successfully deliver each phase with minimal disruption to the live school facilities. As part of our Considerate Constructors approach, ongoing liaison with the local Crossmaglen community and neighbours of the school was critical to maintaining a positive awareness around the project. We are confident that our legacy here will live on through the state-of-the-art facilities now provided at St Joseph’s High School.”
