Description:
Fast track construction of a 5/6 storey, 300 bed student accommodation facility including site development works within the existing UCD university campus. A key factor in the decision to appoint Collen Construction was our ability to reduce the programme by five months by incorporating a permanent formwork structural frame system. The 8000m2 frame/floor structure was constructed in a 14 week programme, including the installation of 330 bathroom pod units within 50 apartments. The facility was constructed within a tight programme to facilitate the registration of students due to commence studies on the campus the following year. The project was delivered on schedule, on budget and met all the clients environmental and social requirements.
