ISG Totty - ISG Totty receives an encore with £5.3 million
Barnsley Ramada project
ISG Totty has been awarded a £5.3 million project by
New World Leisure, to build a new 117-bed Ramada Encore
hotel in Barnsley. Situated off Junction 37 of the M1
motorway at Capitol Park, the new hotel is ideally
located to attract business customers, providing high
quality and affordable accommodation and featuring nine
well equipped meeting rooms.
The client, New World Leisure, is a development and
operation joint venture between Alfred McAlpine and New
World Hotel Operations, and this latest project sees the
rapidly expanding Ramada Encore brand increase its
profile within the Yorkshire region. ISG Totty will
commence construction of the four-storey hotel in July,
with completion scheduled for late Spring 2008.
The building has been designed to maximise the volume of
open plan space on the ground floor, which sees ISG
Totty utilise a steel frame structure to first floor
height and then a pre-cast concrete frame structure for
the remaining three-storeys. A full height glazed atrium
provides a light and spacious entrance and reception
area, with two lifts providing access to the upper
floors. Pre-fabricated bathroom pods, comprising
en-suite facilities for each room, will be used on the
scheme to enhance efficiencies and reduce the number of
trades people required on site. These pods will be
delivered to site when required, craned into position
and then connected up to the services.
Facilities on the ground floor also include a large
dining area and bar, with back of house offices and
staff accommodation. Externally, the hotel will feature
composite cladding, brick, block work and curtain
walling to its façade and ISG Totty will form a car park
and carry out a range of hard and soft landscaping
finishes.
John Gittins, managing director of ISG Totty, commented:
"The Ramada Encore development is the second high
profile hotel project ISG Totty has secured within the
last few months, highlighting our growing reputation
within this burgeoning sector. With previous experience
partnering Whitbread and delivering a nationwide roll
out of Holiday Inn Express projects, the company has an
excellent track record within this arena and we are
actively looking to increase our exposure to this highly
dynamic market.”
