First look at Limerick school's planned new home

LIMERICK LIVE can this week reveal the first architectural impressions of Ardscoil Mhuire’s new building.

A planning application has been submitted for the new complex serving the Corbally school’s 650 students.

It will see the existing single-storey building at College Park demolished.

In its place will be a new building rising up two storeys in some places, four storeys in others.

The development will include a new special educational unit, a PE hall, hard play court areas and grass play areas.

Should permission for the all-girls school be given, it’s envisaged construction will begin next year.

Principal Brid Herbert said: “This exciting development will ensure that we will remain at the heart of our community, continuing to provide the best education possible to our students for decades to come.”

She added Coady Architects’ impressions showcase “a modern, progressive and cutting edge school campus, translates on to paper a vision for our school which has been many years in the making.”

First year student Sarah Mullins added: “It’s exciting to think that in just a few short years we’ll be moving into this brand new building.”
