Family Accommodation Unit (FAU) PIN Notice

Description

The new Ronald McDonald House (the “House”) will provide a high-quality facility to house the families of children receiving long term critical care in the new National Children’s Hospital (the “NCH”). It will be located immediately west of the NCH site, just inside the current Brookfield/South Circular Road entrance. Whilst linked with the NCH project in terms of location and function, it should be noted that this is a stand-alone project with dedicated site access and defined project boundaries. Its key functions are to: • Merge with and replace the current facility being operated at Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) at Crumlin. • Compliment the operations of the adjacent hospital due to families often being in-situ at the hospital for periods of between 2-12 months. • Provide office facilities to support the running of the House and related activities. The design for the new House was initially developed in 2015 and submitted to An Bord Pleanála as part of a Strategic Infrastructure Planning application along with the NCH. The design has since been progressed to Stage 2C for the purposes of the tender, delivering a well-developed concept design providing 52 bedrooms over 4 floors and 4054mm2 with a clear vision of the form and function of the building. In addition to An Bord Pleanála approval, the Fire Compliance Certificate and Disability Access Certificate have also been obtained.
