NUIG/BUILD/005/11; Works Contractor for Life Course Studies Building at NUI Galway
The Life Course Studies Building (LCSB) will be located on the NUI Galway north campus, and will be a new purpose built building designed to provide an integrated multidisciplinary solution to the capital needs of the social science programmes at NUI Galway covering older people, children and family and people with disabilities. To this end, the new building will bring together the following 3 existing research groups into a single building:
— The Child and Family Research Centre,
— The Irish Centre for Social Gerontology, and
— The Centre for Disability Law and Policy.
The building will be approximately 3,600 m² in size (however the Client reserves the right to reduce the size down to 3,300 m² subject to available budget and briefing requirements) and will contain the following types of accommodation:
— academic and administration offices,
— flat and tiered teaching spaces,
— post-graduate study rooms,
— observational suites,
— board and seminar rooms,
— PC labs; and,
— all other associated ancillary and support spaces required.
The building shall be designed and constructed as phase 1 of a larger building, so as to allow expansion of the building in the future.
A particular feature of this building will be the need to ensure that the needs of the various groupings of people using the facility (children, families, the aged, people with disabilities) are catered for. The building must be designed in such a way to be as inviting and customer friendly as possible for users and members of the public who would not necessarily be familiar with Universities or such institutions.
With the aid of retained Project Management / Quantity Surveying / Cost Consultancy Services and Single Point Design Team Consortium (to be novated), NUI Galway wishes to use a design and build process to procure the Life Course Studies Building, with the intention of novating the single point design consortium to the preferred main contract bidder following a competitive process. It is intended that the Single Point Design Team consortium will be novated to the main contractor at the point of contract and will, become part of the Contractor’s team.
