LOT 4 – ST. FRANCIS SCHOOL
This project is located in Portlaoise, Co Laois, Ireland. Lot 4 consisted of the design and construction of a new two‑storey primary school building, including 12 special needs classrooms with an area of 2,912 m2, including all mechanical and electrical installation work, earthworks, external work and parking with capacity for 44 vehicles along with the demolition of the existing school building. In this project, the requirement for rapid construction of the programme also implied the adoption of prefabricated solutions in reinforced concrete for the entire structure, similar to that of Maynooth School.
