Milligan Reside Larkin is a long established Architectural Practice registered in both Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.
Founded at the turn of the Century the practice was acquired by RS Milligan RIBA RIAI from renowned local Architect, Major GW Reside BSc RIBA MICEI JP OBE, in 1987.

A new Catherisation Suite / Recovery and Research facility costing approx £1.4m has been opened at CAH. This is the first purpose built building in Northern Ireland to house the latest state of the art imaging equipment by Siemens – an investment of circa £600k in this highly sophisticated piece of equipment alone. Opened by Health Minister Michael McGimpsey in mid 2008, in its first few months of use the facility now serves as an exemplar imaging suite and greatly enhances the diagnostic services available at Craigavon Area Hospital

Our practice was delighted to learn that a project they led for Laois County Council has been selected by The Civic Trust for national recognition. Portlaoise Civic Plaza saw the redevelopment of a redundant central open space to provide a landscaped civic park adjacent to the County Hall with car parking for some 180 cars over 3 levels.

Awards will be confirmed by President of the Civic Trust, Griff Rhys Jones, at an awards ceremony in the Emirates Stadium in London on Wednesday 18th March ’09.

MRL designed Operating Theatres On-site at Craigavon Area Hospital

In August ’07, a multi-disciplinary Design Team led by Milligan Reside Larkin, were appointed by Southern Area Health & Social Care Trust to assist with the design and delivery of new and refurbished Healthcare facilities within the Southern Area.
