Scope Of Work
Re-Create Companies was very honored to be a critical part of the McClelland Irish Library. We successfully installed over 25,000 square feet of El Dorado Stone Veneer. Stone masonry was essential to create the expression of an Irish Castle. Challenges were many, but we were successful in creating corbels, merlons and crenels, vaults, arches, quoins and battlements to resemble actual castle detailing found in Ireland. The 8.9-ton entry arch system was fabricated in Ireland by master stone mason Francis McCormack of Irish Natural Stone Products Ltd and installed by Re-Create Companies. We also installed Bluestone pavers at the exterior, engraved to memorialize those who donated to the project. The McClelland Irish Library is the realization of ancient Irish architecture using a blending of traditional and contemporary masonry.
