Project overview
About this development
Construction works for the refurbishments of the Nerina Residence on erf 165, 8 Herold Street, Hillcrest, Pretoria for the University of Pretoria, Gauteng. Contract value is estimated at R80 million. The Nerina Refurbishment Project comprises the renewal and compliance upgrade of two interconnected student residence complexes: Old Nerina, built in 1924 as the Loreto Convent, and New Nerina, completed in 2008 with 193 rooms. The scope of work includes extensive remedial interventions to ensure full compliance with SANS 10400, DHET guidelines, and applicable fire safety and sanitary standards. Critical work streams include the installation of compliant fire doors, alarms, and emergency lighting, as well as improvements to accessible circulation routes, signage, and sanitary facilities. Old Nerina will undergo room reassignment to convert shared rooms into single rooms, and a selected unit, Block J, was redesigned to provide accessible accommodation options. In addition, the mechanical design introduces ventilation upgrades for bathrooms, while surface-mounted services will be rationalised and relocated to achieve a neater building appearance. The GPS coordinates of Nerina Residence are -25.7567255, 28.2356716
