Contract Information
Main Building Contractor
The project comprises the construction of a new Medical School Building of 4,295mē. It includes a lecture theatre, two seminar rooms, clinical skills room, anatomical skills room, PBL classrooms, research suite, computer suites, catering facilities, academic and administrative offices. It also includes 28 student accommodation apartments providing 100 no. beds in three separate blocks. The building has a range of high quality finishes including hardwood windows and stone cladding.
Being a live third-level campus, there are specific challenges in terms of noise and dust control, waste management, traffic management, and avoidance of nuisance. Special measures to overcome these issues included a 2.0m high timber lathed screen around the site, a detailed noise risk assessment, a traffic management plan with restrictions on delivery times, and close dialogue with the Client’s Representative to plan weekly activities.
