Dublin’s National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH)

OVERVIEW

Dublin’s National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH) is the only facility that provides specialist, accredited in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation in the Republic of Ireland. Its re-development centred around an extension to the original 20th Century hospital that would enhance the patient's experience.  


The new building includes four different façade designs, each with their own aesthetic and practical goals. Patient wards are organised around two large and two smaller courtyards which, along with the varied façade characteristics, provide orientation for patients navigating the hospital.


Schüco products were specified for the façade with Alucraft as the specialist contractor and O’Connell Mahon Architects designing the re-development.


This was a government contract which meant that a product or supplier could not simply be specified. Instead, the architects had to work with façade consultants to develop a performance specification.
