DCU Student Housing
Planning
BSM acted as planning consultants for the DCU Student Accomodation scheme on the main DCU Glasnevin Campus. The proposed scheme will include 1,240 bed spaces and communal living facilities, arranged across seven blocks of accommodation, ranging from 4 to 10 storeys in height. A sequence of landscaped ‘garden rooms’ provide defined external recreation spaces for residents and allow public access through the site.
Central to the success of the scheme has been the creation of high quality and sustainable facilities, which will create ownership, foster wellbeing, and encourage active use. The development forms part of the aspirations of Dublin City University in expanding and upgrading its campus at Glasnevin to meet the rapidly changing needs of its student population. The scheme was granted permission by An Bord Pleanala under the SHD process.
