PROJECT PROFILE
ARDNASHEE SCHOOL & COLLEGE, DERRY/LONDONDERRY
M&E CONSULTANT
DELIVERING A BREEAM EXCELLENT BUILDING, INTEGRATING A HYDROTHERAPY POOL AND INCORPORATING SPECIALIST SANITARY WARE WERE AMONG COMPLEX ELEMENTS OF THE PROJECT…
Global engineering, management and development consultancy Mott MacDonald provided building services design and a BREEAM assessor role for the project. Ian Bryson, Mott MacDonald MEP Project Lead, said, “We collaborated with Woodvale Construction and its M&E subcontractors to achieve the common goal of high-quality installation, completed on time, within budget. “The challenge of delivering a BREEAM Excellent building was overcome using a combination of efficient building services systems including LED lighting with occupancy controls, heat recovery ventilation with CO2 occupancy control, photovoltaic panels and rainwater harvesting.”
A complex design challenge involved integration of the hydrotherapy pool, requiring a dedicated plantroom to provide heating, filtration and chemical treatment of the pool water and a dedicated specialist air-handling unit with automatic controls to maintain comfortable conditions and avoid condensation in the pool hall. Specialist sanitary ware in hygiene rooms included assisted baths with mood music and lighting with illuminated ceiling graphics above. “Representing another complex special needs school completed by Mott MacDonald, this project provides top- class build quality and excellent design features for the school’s pupils, including sensory, rebound therapy, soft play and
immersive rooms and a hydrotherapy pool,” said Ian. “Mott MacDonald is a global engineering, management and development consultancy. Everywhere around the world, people’s needs and aspirations are changing, fast. That brings increasing challenge for our clients, as they seek to satisfy stakeholders, tackle societal issues and deliver their business strategy. “Our network of experts looks at problems from fresh angles and finds opportunities in complexity. They bring together diverse skills, experience and insight, to turn obstacles into sustainable solutions. Our aim is to add value at every stage, for our clients and the lives they touch every day.”
