The spokesperson added: “The sketches from Coady Architects bring to life a vision that has been years in the making, showcasing a modern, progressive, and cutting edge school campus.”
Principal Bríd Herbert, said: “The school’s Board of Management and our trustees, CEIST, are very pleased with this exciting announcement. Ardscoil Mhuire is proud to be central to the community that it serves.”
She continued: “This significant development, which sees us moving a major step closer to the construction of a brand new multi-million euro school on the current campus, will ensure that we remain at the heart of our community, continuing to provide the best education possible to our students for decades to come.”
Current Ardscoil Mhuire head girl, Róisín Antonio, is thrilled with this development: “This is great news and gives our current and future students something to look forward to!”
