Paul Sheffield, managing director at Laing O鈥橰ourke, said: 鈥淭he project is one that requires complex engineering, supported by our in-house capabilities along with a fully integrated supply chain.
鈥淭he exposed high quality concrete features of this fantastic building will be delivered using a blend of traditional construction and off-site manufacturing.鈥�
