WORKS UPDATE

August is finally here, and with it, our last full month of construction on site. With handover scheduled for the start of September, by the end of this month, the remaining of the works to be carried out prior to competition should be mostly internal.

Our façade contractors are now completing the cladding of the building and as you may have noticed, most of the mast climbers have now been dismantled and removed from site. For the initial two weeks of August, our ground-workers will be installing the drainage on the ground floor and preparing the place for the tarmac company, which should take place by the third week of the month.

Currently, the noisy activities on site are majorly carried out internally, with very little noise pollution being emitted from site. However, as always, we apologise for the times when such activities are carried out externally. We’ll continue to work to implement systems that will minimise such activities on this project.

Sections of the red hoarding around the building are being currently removed, and by the end of week two, our site will be using heras fencing only to prevent unauthorised access. A security company has been contracted by Turkington to ensure site security at night as we continue to remove the hoarding.

COMMUNITY LIAISON BOARD

Our Notice Board installed and displayed on our hoarding line will continue to be used as a way to communicate and display some more site related information to the community around us and the wider public. This will also allow us to share some of the Health, Safety and Environmental initiatives implemented on site.

A new Ulster University Sports Centre is due to open in September 2024 and is set to be the ultimate sporting facility, and it's right in the heart of the new student accommodation at Nelson Place.

The Ulster University Belfast Sports Centre will operate similarly to all other facilities and is therefore available for public use, including gym etc. 

A new Tesco's Express store will be opening soon!  Situated at the corner of Fredrick Street and York Street at the ground level of the LIV student accommodation building. 

Details of the opening date are still to be released, however, this new store will undoubtably be a great convenience for the local community, students and visitors to the local area!

What is CDHT?

As part of the Belfast Region City Deal, a £42m high visibility and quality Centre for Digital Healthcare Technology (“CDHT”) and associated living labs in the areas of cardiology, diabetes, respiratory and stroke is being scaled-up.

The vision underpinning CDHT is to help establish the Belfast City Region as one of the best places in the world to design, develop and launch innovative medical devices and diagnostics measurably contributing to economic growth and productivity, reduced healthcare costs, enhanced levels of care and improved patient outcomes.
