Ulster Uni, Nelson St. Student Accomodation & Sports Centre

Student Roost’s impressive new Nelson Place complex is home to 774 student accommodation and a state-of-the-art sports centre and wellbeing facilities – making it one of the largest student accommodation schemes in Belfast spanning 12 storeys and covering 245,000 sq ft.

Brett Martin supplied a striking Glass Link rooflight system installed above the central hallway that connects the communal area and recreational facility entrance. This rooflight consists of a continuous run of 20 fixed modules.

Chosen for its slimline frame and exceptional span capabilities, Brett Martin’s Glass Link rooflight allows daylight to flood into the internal spaces below. This not only enhances the architectural appeal of the building but also delivers practical benefits in an educational environment – from boosting concentration and productivity to promoting mental wellbeing, which is the focus of the building design.
