Integrated Consultant Team sought for new teaching block for the School of Medicine at Ulster University's Derry-Londonderry campus.
The new SoM Teaching Block will provide teaching accommodation to enable the current annual cohort of medical students to move out of the existing interim refurbished accommodation on campus. A schedule of accommodation has been developed in consultation with key stakeholders and partners in the SoM for this purpose, and includes a mixture of seminar, teaching, laboratory, office, meeting and collaborative space, as well as some limited research space.
In addition to this, additional teaching accommodation will be provided in the form of ‘white space’ to meet a projected future increase in student numbers on campus. Whilst primarily intended for an increase in the number of medical students, based on the future projected need, this will be standard flexible university teaching space, which can be used for the teaching of either medical or non-medical students.
Baseline teaching accommodation for the current annual intake of 70+7 medical student - 3,810sqm
Flexible use space to include Research Skills Lab, dedicated research space (32m2) and multi-purpose training and work space - 780sqm
White space for future expansion of teaching accommodation to meet projected future increases in student numbers - 5,760sqm
Total Floor Area: 10,350sqm.
