Scoil Chonaill

Bunbeg, Co. Donegal

We recently completed a two-classroom Special Education Needs (SEN) extension at Scoil Chonaill in Bunbeg, County Donegal.

Working within a highly constrained site, the new two-classroom SEN base was carefully designed to fit into the limited space between the existing school building and the road edge. The falling gradient of the access road into Bunbeg presented both a challenge and an opportunity — its slope is echoed in the angular design of the roadside boundary wall, creating a dynamic architectural feature along the R258.

McCabe Architects currently has over 30 Special Education Needs projects at various work stages across Ireland.
