As one of the largest student bed accommodation developments in the country, the 15,000sqm Carrigrohane Student Accommodation project involved the reuse of an existing 0.64ha brown field urban site to provide 92 apartments and 484 en-suite bedrooms for student accommodation. Ancillary accommodation includes reception, common room, tv-games room, study area and laundry etc. as well as open space as recreational amenity.
Located at the site of the former Coca Cola bottling plant on Carrigrohane Road in Cork city, the development ranges from four to seven storeys in height and the frame comprises of reinforced concrete flat slabs supported off columns & core walls with piled foundations.
Set back from the Carrigrohane Road, open space is provided via two courtyards and a new public amenity space to the Curraheen River at the rear of the site.
The site is well connected to public transport and cycling routes and sits in close proximity to both UCC and CIT.
