Supplying Europe with critical heart valve technologies just got a bit easier with completion of Edwards Lifesciences鈥 new Gold LEED-certified manufacturing facility in Ireland鈥檚 National Technology Park just outside Limerick. Recipient of the 2022 Irish Construction Excellence Award in the 鈥淚ndustrial Over 鈧15m鈥 category, as well as a 2022 Irish Building & Design Award for Industrial Building Project of the Year, the facility was constructed using an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) procurement approach and innovative digital tools.
