PROJECT PROFILE
NORTHERN REGIONAL COLLEGE CAUSEWAY CAMPUS, COLERAINE
CONSULTANCY SERVICES Belfast-based McAdam provided multi-disciplinary consultancy support, which included project management, architectural and principal design services. The team was supported by sub-consultants JCP Consulting (quantity surveying) and Mott MacDonald (civil engineering, structural engineering, mechanical and electrical services). The project involved the complete demolition and redevelopment of a 12,600sqm campus within a constrained town centre environment, on the footprint of the former facility. An innovative design incorporates industry-leading equipment in partnership with local businesses to enhance students’ learning and the curriculum. In addition, innovative and flexible teaching spaces are provided via dual usage and movable partitions to reflect evolving pedagogy. For McAdam, the most satisfying aspect was the feedback received from college staff and students. “The McAdam team delivered a truly exemplary architectural solution for NRC Causeway Campus, involving a blend of architectural skillsets required in the delivery to stringent client curriculum requirements. “The new campus, now completed, is an iconic building providing a state-of-the-art teaching and learning environment for students and staff for years to come.”
M&E FIT-OUT
Tasked as one of Heron Bros’ main sub- contractors, NUGENT developed its MEP design for the new NRC campus in liaison with the main contractor and college. Early engagement offered the opportunity to enhance and refine NRC’s specific requirements, with the main drivers being end-user functionality, efficiency and quality. NUGENT incorporated offsite manufacturing and modern methods
of construction in its MEP services, including BIM to model and coordinate the services to avoid structural and architectural elements. NUGENT collaborated with Heron Bros and its sub-contractors through design and site progress meetings throughout the duration of the project. Conor Fitzpatrick, Mechanical Contracts Manager at NUGENT, said, “We are thrilled to have been involved in a local project of this size and calibre, knowing how fortunate the next generation of students are who will pass through the revolving door entrance for years to come. “The state-of-the-art facilities will stand prominent over the town for decades to come, and we are delighted to have completed another spectacular project with Heron Bros’ highly experienced team.”
