Campus Development Office (CDO) in collaboration with YRM Consultants. The coordination and supervision of the project was the responsibility of the Campus Development Office.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018The MDA Partnership\u2019 office was appointed for quantity surveying services and consulting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Project<\/strong> <strong>Description<\/strong><strong> \/ <\/strong><strong>Uses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Infrastructure project entailed the construction of the internal road network which links the public road network with the Campus. At the points of conjunction, three nodes have been constructed and signify the three entries to the Campus; north, east and west.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The road network of this phase creates a ring inside the Campus which is about 2 Km long. Pedestrian and cycle routes have been built alongside, enhanced with planting and lighting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A highlight of the pedestrian network is the construction of the \u2018Belvedere\u2019 pedestrian road which joins two major zones of the Campus; the public buildings area and the academic buildings zone. The Belvedere is built at an advantageous location maximising views to the whole Campus and the nearby Athalassa forest and Aronas hill.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At this initial infrastructure phase, 465 parking places were constructed and green bands have been planted to segregate parking from other Campus areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Importance has been placed in upgrading the natural environment of the Campus through the planting of trees, various green and careful landscaping.Within the framework of the project, two separate buildings were constructed; to the west the Electricity Authority Cyprus (EAC) substation and to the north-east, the Energy Centre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Along with the EAC substation project, the works regarding the power network, the voice and data and the road lighting were completed as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Energy Centre building project included the central system for the production of hot-cold water, the central distribution pumps, and the supply system for the heating and cooling of the individual Campus buildings.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additionally a Sewage Treatment Plant has been constructed, including the network for the supply of processed water. This water circulates in a separate circuit which provides buildings with grey water and is used for irrigation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Project<\/strong> <strong>Construction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Construction for the infrastructure works and services \u2013 Phase I began in May 1999 and was completed in January 2002.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Project Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The cost for the construction works, amounted approximately to \u20ac8.573.000 (excluding V.A.T.).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Building Contractors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The implementation of the construction works of the project, was undertaken by the firms shown below:<\/p>\n<table width=\"571\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"247\">Main Contractor:<\/td>\n<td width=\"318\">Charilaos Apostolides &amp; Co Ltd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"247\">Electrical Subcontractor:<\/td>\n<td width=\"318\">A Eracleous Electrical Installations\u00a0Ltd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"247\">Mechanical Subcontractor:<\/td>\n<td width=\"318\">Caramondani Bros Ltd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"247\">Subcontractor for Sewage Treatment Plant:<\/td>\n<td width=\"318\">C P Envirosystems Ltd &amp; Cyprus Waterworks Co Ltd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"247\">Subcontractor for Irrigation \/ Gardening:<\/td>\n<td width=\"318\">H E Horticultural Enterprises Ltd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning \/ Design Infrastructure Works for Phase I, addressed a variety of goals targeting to facilitate the smooth, safe and sustainable operation of the Campus and<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":218,"featured_media":3356,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-completed-projects"],"modified_by":"kelvege","publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-15 05:54:43","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/ts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/ts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/ts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/ts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/218"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/ts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3535"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/ts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4085,"href":"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/ts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535\/revisions\/4085"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/ts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/ts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/ts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/ts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
