Design Competition Launches For New Primary School In Dublin

A design competition has been launched for a new primary school in an urban setting in Dublin.

The winning entry will be awarded an actual commission for the site at Harcourt Terrace, Dublin 2, and includes the former Garda Station and Irish Film Censor Building.


The brief is for a 24-classroom primary school, with a Special Needs Unit. The total floor size is approximately 4,850 square metres.

The architect-led full design team competition will be a two-stage process, to minimise costs for respondents and to encourage a high number of entrants. The competition jury will select a shortlist of entries to go forward to Stage 2, where more detailed design responses will be required.
