AECOM, the trusted global infrastructure leader, today announced that it has been appointed by Workday – the AI platform for managing people, money and agents – to project manage the organisation’s fit-out of its new EMEA headquarters in Dublin, Ireland.
AECOM project management will work with Workday, the design team and contractor to deliver the fit-out of the substantial office space, which is the equivalent of approximately five-and-a-half football pitches. AECOM’s Dublin-based team will also deliver technical due diligence and cost management services for the scheme.
“We are delighted to have been appointed to this project, which is set to solidify Dublin’s status as the tech capital of Europe,” says Greg Flynn, Head of Project Management & Real Estate Solutions for Ireland at AECOM. “AECOM is proud to play a role in the transformation of this new office space in the heart of the city centre, particularly given our longstanding relationship with Workday, and this appointment underscores the incredible work of our local team in Ireland on past projects in this space and with this client.”
The College Square letting represents the largest single office leasing in Europe since 2021, marking a major milestone for the Dublin office market and signalling the city’s recovery from uncertainty related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The new space will bring together Workday’s more than 2,000 Ireland-based employees from two separate office locations into one unified hub.
AECOM previously provided project management, technical due diligence and cost management services during Workday’s evaluation of a 550,000ft2 campus in Grangegorman, before the organisation ultimately selected the 416,000ft2 College Square office building as the final location of its new headquarters. AECOM’s relationship with Workday goes back over 15 years, having served as quantity surveyor and providing project and cost management services, among others, for Workday’s previous Dublin offices.
AECOM’s growing team in Dublin has a successful track-record of commercial projects in the city for corporate real estate clients in the technology, transportation, utilities, healthcare, financial services, legal, pharma and public sectors.
