Monitoring was undertaken in association with the St James’ MISA Hospital Project, St James’ Hospital, Dublin 8 between 25 June and 30 July 2014 for BAM on behalf of St James’ Hospital Board. Monitoring was required as a condition of the planning permission issued by Dublin City Council (Planning Ref. 3607/12).
The development involved the demolition of the former Matron’s facility (a two-storey red brick comprising 185 sq m); the doctors on-call accommodation building (a single storey structure consisting of 500 sq m); the northern elevation of Hospital 5 (a single storey conservatory comprising 40 sq m); and a portion of the western part of Hospital 5 (a two-storey hospital building consisting of 240 sq m).
The construction programme consists of a new part two, part four and part seven storey hospital building totalling 15,018sq m,. The development also encompasses: the construction of a single storey pedestrian corridor and ancillary accommodation structure at ground level linking the proposed facility and the main hospital concourse and the provision of the first phase of a landscaped plaza together with a set down and drop off area, disabled parking, steps, paving and seating and pedestrian link to the adjoining Linear Park to the south (located adjacent to Fatima LUAS stop).
Monitoring of groundworks was undertaken in association with the development of the project. No archaeological deposits or features were identified.
