Brewery Quarter, Cork

Located on the former Beamish and Crawford Brewery site, the new student digs managed by Uninest Students Residence is part of a wider mixed use urban regeneration project for Cork’s historic medieval area. Woodland undertook the design, manufacturer and fitting of all 416 bedrooms and 62 cluster kitchens.

Alan O’Brien, Director of Construction at Global Student Accommodation comments: “I have been really impressed with the way Woodland delivered on Brewery Quarter Student Accommodation in Cork. The quality of their furniture and the installation has been the best I’ve seen in a long time. Right from the start they made everything really easy, with the complete prototyping of the bedroom and kitchen at their Marketing Suite.

"Coming together with the Woodland designers and the BAM team to discuss the practical issues and make refinements to the design, just irradiated all the unknowns. It saved so much time and potential issues down the line. As a client we felt really involved in the final design detailing and that is critical to the GSA brand, making sure those hallmark details that differentiate us from the competition are not lost in the final delivery.

"Top marks to the Woodland team for their quality and approach.”

Damian Byrne, Project Manager at BAM Construction Ltd comments: “Woodland delivered the FF&E package for Brewery Quarter kitchens and bedrooms. I have to say that it has been a really positive collaboration. They absolutely delivered what they said they would and the professionalism of the fitting and project management has been refreshing.

"The “can-do” attitude meant that there were never any issues, they always brought the solutions in the interest of keeping on programme and delivering the job.

"I would certainly recommend Woodland as a first class subcontractor.”
