EXTERNAL ENVELOPE 47
Sto products selected for 165,000 m² new children’s hospital in Dublin
E
xternal wall insulation specialist, Sto, has been selected to provide a suite of products for a new 165,000 m² hospital
in Dublin, Ireland. Scheduled for completion in 2024, the New Children’s Hospital will comprise more than 6,000 rooms spread across seven storeys. Main contractor,
BAM, which was
responsible for designing, engineering and managing the facade packages, chose Sto products to meet performance requirements set by BDP, a multi-disciplinary practice of architects. To maximise thermal efficiency and fire protection, the StoTherm Mineral external wall insulation system is being used. The project will also feature the StoSilco silicone resin render and a specialist Sto facade paint to create a colourful and highly durable exterior that won’t fade. With work still being completed on
site, the Sto products are being applied by Dublin-based SF Plastering. Featuring
non-combustible mineral fibre boards, the StoTherm Mineral system has been installed onto a light steel frame using Sto-Rotofix Plus mechanical fixings.
Uniquely, these
enable the insulation boards to be adjusted after installation to accommodate surface irregularities, ensuring a smooth surface prior to rendering. To create multiple colours across the
exterior, the Sto render was selected in shades of mauve, yellow, orange, green and aqua. Once applied, this will provide a high

level of water repellence and water vapour permeability, making the façade resistant to the build-up of dirt and reducing the growth of algae and fungus. StoSilco X Black facade paint was applied to the darker colours to ensure these won’t fade over time. The New Children’s Hospital is being brought forward by the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and will combine services currently provided at three children’s hospitals in Dublin. When complete, it will offer a world-class facility for Ireland’s sickest children and young people, and be the country’s primary centre for paediatric education, training, and research. The hospital’s design evolved following extensive dialogue with stakeholders, including staff, families, young people and children who are former or current users of the service.
