Executive Summary 2

In all schemes study bedrooms are designed as shallow plan

forms to ensure optimal natural lighting. Modelled facades

maintain a residential community scale and their fine urban grain

avoids an institutional character.

Shading elements are proposed to bedrooms to ensure that solar

gain is avoided while allowing maximum natural lighting at other

times of day.

Each accommodation unit is fully fitted including loose furniture

and fittings.

Each student bedspace will have an accompanying workstation

with an integrated computer data point.

The options using the shared dormitory model are the three or six

bed study-bedrooms (Options 1 and 2), with their associated

living / dining facilities. They also provide generous areas for

formal and informal gatherings of students. These take the form of

common rooms of varying sizes but also allow simple ‘break-out’

spaces as part of the internal circulation, allowing both casual

social interaction and helping to promote a sense of community.

These spaces are spread throughout the buildings breaking down

the blocks of study-bedrooms, and ensuring that every circulation

space is light-filled and in visual contact with the courtyard.

In the apartment model (Option 3) the six ensuite study-bedroom

unit with its self-sufficient living and dining facilities are the core

building blocks. The courtyard forms are broken down in scale

and massing with prominent circulation spaces giving further

local identity, with each stair core defining the ‘house’ cluster in

conventional college terminology.

2.1 Design Philosophy and ApproachThere are three design solutions proposed for this project,

and all are consistent in their incorporation into landscaped

courtyard blocks.

Each design solution provides a building with 500 student

bedspaces into a defined form that allows a sense of

neighbourhood and identity to be created for these communities.

The courtyard model is expandable to provide 1,000 bedspaces,

where required. The plan can be replicated as necessary thereafter

to meet the demand of the campus. The courtyards are the

gardens of the schemes in the conventional sense, but they also

act as urban circulation areas and their success as places of social

interaction will rely on the landscaping design tempering the

external environment and providing places of sun and shade for

students to meet.

Three design options are examined.

In reality, the pre-cast units can be in production while ground

works and floor slabs are executed on site, and once the floor slab

is ready, we have the happy record of being able to erect a full

school kit ground floor within a week.

Once the entire structure is in position the enclosure is completed,

allowing internal trades, including painting (directly on to pre-cast

concrete) and services to commence.

The foregoing process ensures completion times well ahead of

traditional technologies, without compromising the quality

agenda.

The key to the success of the Rapid-Build approach lies in the

intensity of the pre planning exercise, where we engage at

inception, involving the entire team, and, most importantly the

supplier and manufacturer of the specialist pre-engineered kit. In

the case of these schools, Sammon used a pre-cast concrete

solution, manufactured off-site in factory conditions, and brought

to site in sections. Programming of elements is key to smooth

delivery and installation in this regard, and we are proud to say

that our strength in this area has ensured timely roll-out of schools

countrywide and overseas to date.

2.2 Rapid Build SolutionThe Sammon Group has designed and delivered, in the face of

considerable competition, a prototype pre-engineered Rapid-

Build school for the Department of Education and Science, Ireland.

The Rapid-Build approach results in each school being

constructed in 20 weeks, ahead of schedule, within the budget,

and the buildings have been widely acclaimed for their

robustness, quality, innovation and speed of construction.

The Sammon Group has adopted this pre-engineered Rapid Build

approach in the design of the Student Accommodation buildings

which will result in construction time savings while maintaining

the robustness, quality and technological innovations.

materials and renewables), will be applied to the construction of

the Student Accommodation buildings.

2.3 EnvironmentalThe Sammon Group’s policy is to utilise sustainable options and

energy efficient systems and to employ a holistic approach to the

integration of the building, its systems and its users.

This includes the need for the building to be designed and

operated in a manner that reduces the environmental impact of

the building, while achieving it in an economical manner and

maintaining an internal environment that is comfortable and

enjoyable to occupy.
