€11m School Gets Underway

Construction News Image
In a significant move forward work has commenced on the construction of a new €11m school in Dublin.

When completed the new school for St. Colmcilles Senior and Junior Schools in Knocklyon will be a three-storey building with 64 classrooms.

The project consists of the removal of all existing prefabricated buildings and the demolition of the existing St. Colmcille's Junior and Senior National Schools in order to construct a new school building.

Ancillary areas will include general-purpose rooms, libraries, meeting rooms, special education rooms, three atriums, junior and senior school administration offices.

Meanwhile playgrounds will be located on the southern and eastern side of the new building and, when the senior school building is demolished, on the northern side.

Works will include the rearranging of the access road and car park on the western side accessed from Idrone Avenue.

During the construction period, it is intended to relocate the senior school students in a temporary prefabricated structure at Ballyboden St. Enda’s GAA grounds, Sancta Maria College, Ballyroan, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16. This protected structure will be the subject of a separate planning application. For the duration of the building contract, the junior school students will be located in the existing main senior school building.

Work on the project is expected to be complete by the fourth quarter of 2013.

The development will measure 11,327 sq.m. and will be located on a 2.03 hectare site.
