Coillte Headquarters Move
Coillte Headquarters has closed it's Leeson Lane Doors after 15 years! Coillte Headquarters is now located at a large state-of-the-art premises at Newtownmountkennedy, Co. Wicklow. The beautiful all timber building, designed by Duncan Stewart, was built in two phases. The first phase which was completed in 1997, has since been home to Coillte's Southern Region and the second phase, which was factory built by Griffner Coillte in Mullingar, is only just complete and merges to form the new Corporate Headquarters.
This building is the first all timber office complex built in Ireland and covers almost 25,000 square feet of floor space. Wood, a renewable resource was the obvious and natural choice for the building which accommodates almost 100 staff working in a wide range of forestry disciplines.
The second phase of the building was built by Griffner Coillte, which is a joint venture company between Griffner Haus of Austria and Coillte. It manufactures, markets and sells modular buildings in which the main construction material is wood. Griffner Coillte place great importance on aesthetics, ecology and design, using leading edge production and design technology which are apparent at the Coillte Newtownmountkennedy office.
