This project is the development of a National Sustainability, Research and Innovation Centre, on the site of Teagasc’s existing campus at Johnstown Castle, Wexford. The new state of the art building will provide laboratories to facilitate the expansion of the current research programme. This research is providing evidence-based support to strategic initiatives in areas related to the sustainability of agricultural systems – and includes the construction of a new largescale laboratory building, and the refurbishment of existing laboratories and offices that have become outdated – all delivered within an integrated operational environment that is efficient and sustainable.
