Restoration and renovation of a former railway building. Dundalk / Ireland / 2006
1
This building spent many years as a derelict railway shed. It was originally used for cleaning and maintaining rail carriages but it became redundent with the closure of the railway infrastructure in Dundalk town centre in 1960.
It was purchased by Louth County Council as part of the Millenium Centre Complex and aquired by the HSE. The building was renovated to accommodate a new healthcare facility. We re-opened the bricked-up arches, raised the roof to provide a second storey and a new contemporary addition houses the vertical circulation.
