Permission to add exterior signage to the building enhancing the visibility of the location to the general public and any perspective customers. The signage will be non-illuminate and the size will be 3,000mm width by 1129mm height. The signage will be 20mm PVC letters bonded to the building surface using Tech 7 bonding and double sided adhesive. The management team in WorkIQ will be responsible for the upkeep and ,maintenance of the sign. The proposed increase in letter height from the prescribed 400 mm maximum to 1129mm is necessary to ensure appropriate visibility and proportionality relative to the scale of the WorkIQ Innovation Quarter building. Given the building's substantial façade and its setback position from Belgard Square North, smaller lettering would not achieve adequate legibility from the adjacent roadway or pedestrian approaches. The larger 1129mm letters are designed to maintain visual balance with the building's architectural proportions while providing clear identification for visitors and clients approaching from distance. As WorkIQ functions as a landmark innovation and enterprise hub accommodating multiple businesses, its signage must perform a wayfinding role that reflects its civic and commercial significance within the Tallaght Innovation Quarter.
