Jaguar Land Rover Showroom

The Donnelly Group are Northern Ireland’s largest family owned new and used vehicle retailer.

Albert Fry Associates provided full structural and civil engineering consultancy services in the development of their £6M Jaguar Land Rover showroom at it’s flagship site in Dungannon. This 5,000m2 landmark building adheres to Jaguar Land Rover’s strict corporate identity both internally and externally, and is characterised by a large glazed area and two large ‘arches’.

The structure itself is split level in sympathy with the dramatic change in levels which fall away from the Moy Road. The upper ground level accommodates showroom, sales, hospitality, finance etc. to the front and servicing to the rear with bodywork and vehicle preparation/valeting at lower ground level. The structure comprises a braced, pin jointed steel frame with long-span triangulated steel roof trusses. Suspended floor slabs are formed in precast concrete. The site provides for 100 customer parking spaces and 91 new/used vehicle bays. The site was extensively re-contoured using modular block and gabion retaining walls.
