Stepaside Educate Together Secondary School – one of five schools delivered in parallel, for which C.J. Falconer & Associates have acted as architects as part of the ABM Design and Build Ltd. Team, under the Department of Education & Skills’ Design and Build Schools Framework 1.
The project consisted of the design and build of a new 11,256m2 part 1-storey, part 2-storey, and part 3-storey 1,000 pupil post primary school building – with general classrooms, specialist classrooms, 4 Classbase Special Educational Needs (SEN) Unit, General Purpose Hall, PE/Sports Hall, ancillary teaching and staff accommodation.
The project also incorporated associated 100 carparking spaces, internal access roads, drop-off areas, pedestrian access, bicycle lane, construction of external ball courts, hard and soft play areas, landscaping, connection to public services, ESB sub-station and all associated siteworks.
Upgrade works were also required to the site surrounds with a new access point off Ballyogan Avenue, a new pedestrian access off the linear park in front of Holy Trinity National School and the delivery of a greenway providing future linkage to the North and South of the site.
The project was delivered using the Public Works Contract (PW-CF 2) and was located in close proximity to numerous other live sites, along with the existing live school on the same site – and was delivered between May 2022 and end of April 2024.
