The proposed building provides a total of 4,103 sq.m of Gross Floor Area (GFA), excluding an external roof terrace and replacement boiler house. A new vehicular access with associated access and egress control barriers is proposed in a revised position to the north of the proposed building and south of the existing HSE Academic Building to serve the proposed ancillary surface level car park that will provide a service bay, 34 no. car parking spaces and a bicycle storeroom to provide 36 no. bicycle storage spaces.
