Education & Student Accommodation Off-site Manufacturing – A faster way to accommodate student intake Although provision of student accommodation, both in the private sector and University has increased over the last five years, demand for quality accommodation remains high. When considering the provision of purpose built student accommodation timescales are frequently tight, with investors looking for a quick return on their investment. Premier Modular, is an off-site manufacturer with over 60 years’ experience in the market, with a strong commitment to research and development, ensuring they bring the most innovative products to market, for both hire and sale. Premier Modular has developed a highly efficient light gauge steel frame based factory engineered product. Constructed by skilled assembly teams in Premier’s 22 acre site in East Yorkshire, the system is ideal for a full stand-alone build, whilst also suitable for rooftop extensions in tight inner city locations. The primary benefit of this product is a reduced programme; the product is manufactured on a flow line and therefore removes any impact the weather may have on delivery. Rooms can be manufactured at a rate of 25 per week, with minimal onsite time. This speed of construction not only reduces labour rates and prelims but gives a much faster return on investment whether clients are selling or gaining a monthly rental income. Speed of manufacture does not mean compromise in other areas though; modules are constructed to exacting levels in a quality controlled factory environment and with as much as 75% of the buildings manufactured offsite, the risk of accidents on site is greatly reduced. Impact on the local environment is also reduced, with reduced deliveries to site and most of the fit-out happening at Premier Modular’s factory. Premier Modular, working as a supply chain partner to Sir Robert McAlpine completed a 5 storey 206 bedroom student accommodation block in Sept 2015. Located in Newcastle Upon Tyne city centre it consisted of a mixture of 54 studio flats, 105 en-suite bedrooms and 2 accessible en-suite rooms with associated living spaces, kitchens and study areas. Premier was chosen as the preferred supplier due to speed of programme and the high quality finish that could be provided. The project was driven by an immovable programme requirement of the September student intake, Premier efficiently manufactured 300 modules fully fitted out and decorated in the factory - an excellent demonstration of the enormous time benefits realised by using the off-site system. Significantly the foundations and demolition commenced on site whilst the modules were being manufactured – ensuring no time was wasted in the process. Dan Allison, Divisional Director – Sales Division at Premier Modular said ‘Completing this project using off site construction not only gave the investors a whole year of additional return, it was also a deciding factor in ‘The Foundry’ in Newcastle winning ‘Project of the Year Up to £10m’ at the Construction News Awards. The client is at the centre of everything we do and we take great pride in pushing the limits of modular design whilst balancing other key project drivers ’ ‘We always strive for innovation and excellence, coupled with a customer-focussed service ethos, and are proud and excited to have been shortlisted for an Offsite Award on another recently completed project. These awards are confirmation for ourselves that we continue to be forward thinking and creative. In a market where an increased rate of build is required, building standards are increasing, sustainability is of upmost importance and high quality lifestyle choices are an expectation – Premier Modular’s offsite construction has the answer. www.premiermodular.co.uk 16 Feb 2019 <strong>M11</strong>
College Avenue: Setting the standard for Student Accommodation Queens University Belfast’s (QUB) brand-new student accommodation at College Avenue, beautifully brings together a suite of multi-functional systems from architectural aluminium systems’ company, Metal Technology. With an overall project value of £35,000,000, the state-of-the-art student accommodation brings together effective space optimisation and practical design to create a safe space for students in a central Belfast location with a range of purpose-built areas to facilitate a balanced approach to study, health and wellbeing. Spanning 11 floors and an impressive 240,000ft 2 the accommodation features Metal Technology’s System 17 high rise curtain walling on all facades in combination with System 5-35Hi+ turn only windows, System 23 louvres and System 5-20D Hi+ doors . These purpose designed louvres have been tested to BS6180 for guarding providing a safe environment even when the full height windows are fully opened. Key considerations when choosing these products included practicality, safety, acoustics and thermal performance throughout the building. www.metaltechnology.com Kingspan Tek adds excitement to school dinners Pupils at Filton Avenue Primary School are enjoying the benefits of offsite construction in their warm, vibrant new dining hall, erected in a matter of weeks using the Kingspan TEK Building System. Studio LIME proposed a simple pitched roof design, using brightly coloured cladding to encourage students to enjoy healthy school meals inside. The construction work was completed by Jones Building Group during term time. This was one of the reasons the Kingspan TEK Building System was specified. Architect, Alex Robertson, explained: “The Kingspan TEK Building System was chosen to reduce the on-site duration of the project and the noise and disruption that goes with it. A number of classrooms are located nearby and operated effectively for the duration of the project. We were also keen to use the system as it allowed us to get a weather proof envelope as quickly as possible, reducing the scope for delays.” www.kingspantek.co.uk Protect Membranes installed in award winning education project A combination of Protect construction membranes has been supplied and installed at Glasdir School, a modern school building constructed to BREEAM Excellent standards using BIM Level 2. Built by Wynne Construction and designed by architects Lovelock Mitchell, this £10.5 million project involved re-locating two primary schools to a brand new shared site in Ruthin, delivering a complete solution to client Denbighshire County Council as part of the Welsh Government’s 21st Century Schools and Education Programme. Manufactured offsite by construction specialist Innovaré using their advanced i-SIP technology, an independently accredited Structural Insulated Panel System (SIP), the resulting structure was both water and airtight, delivering thermal efficiency to a final U-value of 0.15w/m 2 k. The structure led to Innovaré being the winners of the Best Use of SIPs category at the 2018 Structural Timber Awards. Protect’s TF200 external breather membrane was used externally on the SIP to ensure high water resistance and vapour permeability, minimising the risk of interstitial condensation in the wall structure. Internally, Protect BarriAir was used to ensure the integrity of airtightness and to significantly reduce heat loss and air leakage through the building fabric. Craig Lee, Supply Chain Manager at Innovaré commented, “Over 10,000m 2 of i-SIP components including internal and external walls and roof cassettes were erected by Innovaré in only 13 weeks, 55% faster than traditional build. By using Protect’s membranes we have peace of mind, both in long term performance as well as timely deliveries, which helped us to maximise the speed benefits of offsite construction.” For details of how Protect products can be incorporated into residential and commercial builds, please visit the below website, email info@protectmembranes.com or call 0161 905 5700, quoting ‘Glasdir School.’ www.protectmembranes.com Images courtesy of Wynne Construction Feb 2019 <strong>M11</strong> 17
