23 tenders submitted, six shortlisted & evaluated for contract > € ½ million
Some EHSI issues
• To meet planning guidelines MUST be 41/2 to 6 storey in height.
• BUT, building of this height (at 2500m2) is inefficient.
• Critical mass of building not optimal for impact
Hothouse Incubation Centre Funding?• Enterprise Ireland funding for an Incubator Centre
possible. Hothouse relocation
• Combining Incubator and EHSI – economy of scale, better use of research space, raises profile of both facilities
• Notification of funding before Christmas
• Proceed to design on basis of joint building
EHSI/Hothouse Combined Building
UL Tierney Building combines Incubation Centre with Research Spaces
•Similar Centres elsewhere in Ireland: Tierney Building in UL latest example.
•Enterprise Ireland Funding
•Preliminary Costs ca 4.5 million for Incubator (HH)
•Total Area (Hothouse &EHSI): ca 4,600 m2
Advantages of a Combined BuildingOverall this is a very positive development:
• Larger building is more efficient to design • Cost of incubation lower than separate build.• Positive impact in contribution to local area.• Building a critical mass on campus• Improve research ->innovation pipeline• Engagement with industry/synergy
