‘First Class’ fit out for Queens University
Marcon were awarded the specialist joinery fit out package of the new four storey Student Union for Queens University in Belfast.
The new Students’ Union will replace the original building which was opened in 1967 and has created top end university facilities that are truly world class.
Marcon delivered all specialist joinery, solid surface cladding, polished concrete worktops, and metal work throughout this incredible four-story building.
The building includes vibrant social and commercial spaces such as the SU Shop, the SU Bar, a Mandela Hall entertainment venue, and state-of-the-art facilities for clubs and societies.
As well as facilities to support student life, through student guidance, informal learning zones and supporting offices to aid learning, development and employment opportunities.
The redevelopment of the student union has created an accessible facility that will be a focal point for life on campus, promoting social inclusion, increased engagement and facilitating informal interaction through various activities, therefore significantly enhancing the student experience.
Project Manager at Marcon, Lorcan Hegarty commented: “The whole aim of the university was to create a world class facility for students, they have definitely achieved this. We are really proud to have been involved with this ambitious and exciting project, bringing our interior fit out expertise to create a building for the next generation of students to enjoy.”
The new centre has now been handed over and ready to welcome students for the 2022/ 2023 academic year.
