24

Adjacencies?

At this point it is critical to understand the nature of the space and how spaces will interact before moving into detailed planning of buildings.

The internal configuration of particular buildings will follow.

25

How do we move forward?

• Need to establish clear linkages / adjacencies for space in advance of master-planning

• Identifying existing linkages between Faculties/schools/departments– Support existing relationships

• Need to identify new/potential linkages– Develop new relationships

26

Spatial relationships• To layer/map space relationships:

- Synergy Groups – Health, ICT etc- Partnerships – with industry centre- Research centres / institutes- Interdisciplinary activities -

with HSE on campus etc

with City & Communitywith external partners, eg Kings Inns, Law

Society with commercialisation aspects

• How do these impact on the configuration of space on campus?

27

Some Decisions to date

• A single Library

• Bring all Engineering together

• Combine laboratory provision for Science, Food & Tourism and Engineering

• Bring all student support services together

• A single sports centre
