Cunningham has secured a €19m Education contract on behalf of Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Education & Training Board, known as Gaelscoil na Camoige, Gaelscoil Chluain Dolcain, Colaiste Chillian.

The 18-month project, contained within one site, involves the construction of two new 16-classroom primary schools, Gaelscoil na Camoige and Gaelscoil Chluain Dolcain and the construction of a new PE hall for Colaiste Chillian. The project also included refurbishment work for the existing Colaiste Chillian.

Tim Cunningham, CEO, Cunningham, commented: “We are delighted to secure this education project which will make a real difference and a lasting impact on the whole school community, whilst fulfilling the school motto, ‘Ár nDúchas Slán’ (Our Heritage in Safe Hands).  Our experienced team look forward to delivering an exceptional education setting, implementing innovative solutions to ensure the highest quality expectations and with safety at the forefront.”

The site which is located on the existing school playing fields at Colaiste Chillian on the Old Nangor Road will be constructed over three phases. Part of the site is currently occupied by Colaiste Chillian which will operate as normal throughout the project.

The state-of-the-art education facility for the children in the Clondalkin area will incorporate a concrete frame structure, curtain walling, roof lighting, PV panels and a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) inclusive of a rainwater harvesting tank.
