The 1980's

Katherine Laing BuildingIn the late 1980’s the Board of Management envisaged re-development of the school and initiated the process. Fiona Christeller, as architect, designed the new buildings, with the emphasis on creating a village of complementary buildings and open spaces, within the very tight constraints of the site. The school has a Special Character, and this was carried through in the brief. The new school buildings (the Edwin Ayre building, the Katherine Laing Building, the Gymnasium, Administration block and Auditorium) were built between 1991 and 1998, under the supervision of the late Pat Wähl.
