Contracts for the appointment of a design team for the project for Scoil Mhuire were issued by the Department of Education on Friday last. The team, which will include an architect, a quantity surveyor, engineers and a project supervisor, will progress the project that’s included in the Department’s Construction Programme. 

The Moycullen project is one of 18 school building projects on the Department’s ADAPT 2 (Accelerated Delivery of Architectural Planning & Tendering) Programme which is being overseen by a designated project manager. 

Once appointed, the Design Team will begin work on aspects such as a site report and initial sketch schemes for the new school. The topography survey to determine natural and artificial features of the site as it is now has already been completed. 

A new, larger school building with upgraded facilities is needed to accommodate the growing community of Moycullen. It is a project that I have been working on for a number of years and I’m delighted to see progress on this development which will benefit the community for years to come.
