Client: Dublin City Council.
Value: €5.1m
The NEIC IAP, prepared by Dublin City Council, identified the area
around the existing church on Sean McDermott Street as a flagship
site for re-development of Community based facilities. As part of
the masterplan a need for a new Community Complex was identified
to upgrade and further develop existing community based Projects
and activities such as the Lourdes Youth and Community Services,
the Neighbourhood Youth Project and the Adventure Sports Project,
all of which are based in the existing Ruthland St. School and the
adjoining School-on-Stilts.
The overall proposal is to relocate the above existing groups and
their activities in new purpose-built accommodation arising out
of an extensive consultation and design process with each of the
groups. The proposed Community Complex is a three/four storey building,
being 2998sqm in overall floor area. Each user group is provided
with its separate entrance so as to create its own identity within
the complex and to enable them to relate individually to the proposed
surrounding re-development of the overall area. In addition it is
proposed to include a separate Creche facility for 35 children at
ground level for Dublin City Council. An enclosed hard surface /
external area is to be provided between the Church and the proposed
building.
