New Sports Hall Competition for Loreto Abbey Dalkey
Posted: Wednesday, July 21, 2010
Loreto Abbey Dalkey and the RIAI (Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland) are delighted to launch the architectural competition for the design of a new sports hall located to the rear of Loreto Abbey Dalkey to comprise a Sports Hall, gym, performance stage and associated changing rooms and facilities.
Located on a remarkably beautiful and very exposed site, overlooking the sea, Loreto Abbey Dalkey is a Catholic convent secondary school in Dalkey, south Co. Dublin. It has a proud history dating back to 1843. Today 600+ girls, day students aged 12 to 18 from the local area and from a wide hinterland, attend the school. All students play sports; either formally on teams or through individual sports/PE classes and through their own individual interests.
The school wishes to put in place a Sports Hall (and performance space, budget permitting) to complement the existing school and its surroundings, for the use of the school community and to accommodate specific sporting groups from the wider Dalkey community who use the existing sports facilities in the school, outside of school hours.
Once a competitor registers to take part in the competition, they have until 1 September 2010 to submit their entries. Each entry will consist of one A1 size sheet of information. Competitors who are shortlisted in September and invited to make further submissions will be paid an honorarium of €5,000. The winners of the competition will be announced in December.
Further information on the competition is available on the RIAI website
