CREW Creative Industries Innovation Hub commences on site
We are delighted to have commenced construction of our design for a new Creative Industries Innovation Hub at the ATU Creative Arts & Media campus, Galway
The design comprises a a vibrant stand-alone two-storey building of over 13,500sq.ft on the existing Atlantic Technical University(ATU) Creative Arts & Media campus at Cluain Mhuire, Galway which will provide flexible multi-unit & co-working space for the Creative Industries
Low carbon design & sustainability are key considerations, where the building is orientated to maximize passive solar gain with an expectation to exceed present nZEB (near zero energy building) standards
Credentials include a ‘fabric first’ approach through high performing building envelope & airtightness standards, greenscaping /permeable hardscaping to minimise surface water discharge to the public system, heat pump technology and an overall ambition to provide a low carbon development
The building and site will also avail of adjacent public transport including future intended bus corridor & dedicated cycle lane to Wellpark road, under the current Galway Transport Strategy (GTS)
