School accommodation that was extended and later relocated as the school’s needs changed.
PARTEEN NATIONAL SCHOOL
The project brief.
Parteen National School in County Clare needed additional accommodation as pupil numbers increased. ASP supplied modular classroom space that could respond to changing requirements over time.
02
Initial installation
2007
03
Adaptation
Extended in 2008; relocated in 2015
THE CHALLENGE
Responding to the setting.
The school needed a comfortable learning environment that could support increasing enrolment while retaining flexibility for its longer-term building plans.
THE APPROACH
Built around the brief.
An initial 100 m² building was installed during summer 2007. An 80 m² extension followed the next summer. In 2015, ASP returned to relocate the modular accommodation within the school grounds so construction of a new school building could proceed.
