Project Overview:
The scheme is located in the Liberties area of Dublin 8 which is undergone extensive urban regeneration. The site is bounded to the east by Blackpitts, to the north by a new pedestrian street which it shares with a new hotel and to the west by the boundary wall to the adjoining Warrenmount Convent.
The scheme provides 296 student rooms and associated communal facilities in a U shaped perimeter arrangement enclosing a west facing quadrangle courtyard lawn. The building ranges in scale from seven to four floors with six lift & stair cores serving forty eight apartments each with communal living/dining spaces. The cluster apartments range in size from three to eight bedrooms. Each bedroom is provided with a study desk and an en suite toilet and shower pod.
A two storey gymnasium building adjacent to the boundary wall forms the western enclosure to the courtyard. The scheme is clad in jura beige limestone throughout with aluminium framed glazing and insulated panels to each room.
EDC Scope of Works:
EDC was commissioned by the Global Student Accommodation to function as client representative and technical advisors on this 296-bed student residential scheme.
