Project Description
The winning project in this category is St. Conleth’s Park, Newbridge, Kildare project managed by Donnachadh O’Brien & Associates Consulting Engineers.
It is unusual to find a sportsground which has been retained within an urban fabric and re-developed to provide a 3,000-seat stand, together with the usual ancillary and support accommodation for athletes and hospitality and corporate facilities. In addition to the construction of the grandstand, the project encompassed a new sand-based grass pitch, flood-lighting, a new entranceway and turnstiles and the boundary enclosures.
Furthermore, the boundary works included the conservation and restoration of the listed Athgarvan Road entrance archway. In terms of energy, this is the first BER A-rated GAA stadium in Ireland, adding to the sustainability credentials of the project.
