What this covers

  • Construction of Newbridge Library, Local Studies and Archive Building in Newbridge, Co. Kildare

    Proposed library development at Athgarvan Road, Newbridge, Co. Kildare. The site currently comprises a 1970's structure which is in operational use presently as a library, and a 1930's protected structure. The proposed development consists of the repair, refurbishment and fabric upgrade to the existing 1930's protected structure and the construction of a new three storey building to its south. The works will require the demolition and removal of the 1970's structure, which currently adjoins the protected structure to the south east. The protected structure originally served as the county library and is to be preserved due to its social and historical significance. The protected structure will be repurposed for staff accommodation and has an area of 290m2. The proposed three storey building to be constructed will adjoin the protected structure and serve as the new town library. This new library building will provide approx 2000m2 of space encompassing a predominantly open plan layout, with areas reserved for a children's library, teen's library, adult library, community spaces and multifunction spaces.
