Intro
Northwood Station is one of 16 stations on Dublin's MetroLink, a major infrastructure project transforming urban transit in Ireland. Under tight spatial constraints, the station required complex design coordination to meet passenger requirements, regulations and multidisciplinary integration challenges.
Process
Leading multidisciplinary coordination with engineering consultants during Stage 3 design development, the team resolved critical issues including fire safety systems, construction logistics, pedestrian circulation, and maintenance access within tight spatial constraints.
Goal
To transform a problematic Stage 2 submission into a streamlined, buildable design that meets MetroLink's safety standards while ensuring operational efficiency and construction feasibility.
Result
The redesigned station layout successfully addresses all technical challenges, delivering a functional, safe, and maintainable solution that meets MetroLink's rigorous infrastructure standards. The project demonstrates effective multidisciplinary coordination in complex urban transit design.
