Former hostel to become Marinha Grande’s first student residence

The Marinha Grande City Council today approved the rehabilitation of the building where a hostel used to operate, in the traditional center, to be transformed into the municipality’s first student residence, an investment of around three million euros.

In a press release, the municipality in the district of Leiria explained that it had approved the rehabilitation of the Albergaria Nobre as a student residence and the opening of the public tender for the work.

“The project to renovate the building of the former Albergaria Nobre, located on Rua Alexandre Herculano, involves an investment of 2,993,316.80 euros, plus VAT,” said the municipality, noting that the space will have a total of 50 accommodation units, with a total of 76 beds, spread over three floors.

According to the municipality, the future residence will have four types of accommodation units: 20 single rooms, 20 double rooms, six studios and four adapted rooms (for users with motor disabilities), with all accommodation units having private access to a toilet.

The communal areas include kitchens with dining areas, a lounge, outdoor terraces and a study room/library.

“The solution considers a reinterpretation of Marinha Grande’s glass, using large planes of glass and a bottle green façade finish on the 1st and 2nd floors,” said the municipality, explaining that the project also proposes a relationship with the pine forest through the exterior finish on the ground floor, reinterpreting the color of the trunk and which, with the green of the upper floors, chromatically relates the building to the imagery of the pine forest.

Also according to the municipality, “the project is developed around an internal courtyard, open to the community, accessible from Rua Alexandre Herculano”.

The mayor, Aurélio Ferreira, told Lusa that the aim is to start the work in the last four months of the year.
