The Grangegorman University, Central and East Quad project (Dublin, Ireland), executed by FCC Construcción, are finalists for the prestigious ICE Awards 2022, in the BIM and Education Healthcare Over categories.
In the near future, the design and construction team will be evaluated by a jury, which will determine if the submitted application is the winner in the indicated categories.
The Central Quad and East Quad buildings have been built on a Public Private Partnership basis and will provide university services to 10,000 students and staff at Grangegorman University of Technology. Construction began in March 2018 with a budget of 220 million euros.
The Central Quad building has a constructed area of 35,552 square meters and it will house the academic activities and facilities required for a total of ten schools of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Engineering and Environment, and Faculty of Arts and Tourism.
The East Quad building has an area of 16,940 square meters and houses most of the academic activities and facilities necessary for the Faculty of Arts and Tourism. The building spreads out over five levels for academic staff accommodation, teaching spaces, and specialty spaces, including a 400-seat Performance Hall, a Recital Hall, and a Black Box Theatre.
A fundamental fact is that the location of the East Quad will facilitate the access of the local community and the general public to the shows and performances within the School of Creative and Cultural Arts.
