Additionally, engaging with local government contracts can bolster business portfolios and expand networks within public sector projects. The tender was awarded to OGU Architects, highlighting the potential for architectural firms operating within the UK, especially those familiar with working within devolved regulatory frameworks like those applicable in Northern Ireland.
