Project description
This project provides three new classrooms and three new shelters for a small rural secondary school on the west coast of Ireland.
Externally, the shelters are intended as social areas to wait before and after school, or eat lunch. Internally, a folding wall allows the joining of two classrooms to provide the school with its only assembly room, which also serves as a meeting place for the local community.
The extension is presented as a separate building set back from the line of the original school. The new building forms a sheltered courtyard at the heart of the school.
