Icon Clinical Research Facility
12,000 sq. m n research support facility
RKD has designed 12,000 sq. m. of new offices in four connected wings to support administration, marketing and research functions with ancillary facilities for Icon, an international clinical research company. The new buildings are part of the South Dublin Business Park which also includes the remainder of the global headquarters for the organisation. It is now necessary for Icon to consolidate and expand its business on this site and this has resulted in a requirement for the new office accommodation.
The new buildings connect with the existing headquarter buildings and include such functions as quality assurance, finance, business development and human resources. In addition, clinical research management teams are located on the site, comprising project managers and clinical research staff who set up, monitor and administer research programmes for major pharmaceutical company clients.
The site also contains Icon’s European centre for processing the data generated on all of its clinical trials in Europe and the Rest of the World, excluding the US. South Dublin Business Park, which commenced in the early 1980s, is a high quality mature business Park development approximately 10 kilometres southeast of Dublin City Centre. The park is home to office and research facilities for companies including Microsoft, Trintech, Fujistu and Softco.
