Mungret Community College_

A new 11,300m² post-primary school for 1,000 pupils, delivered for Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board on a 10-acre greenfield site on the edge of Limerick City.

Healy Partners Architects acted as Architect, Design Team Lead, Employer's Representative and Assigned Certifier, taking the project from former farmland, through full site infrastructure (new access road, cycleways and services), to a finished campus that opened in 2024.

At the heart of the building is a large central atrium running through all three levels: a social and circulation hub that connects learning, gathering and the outdoors. Around it sit 37 classrooms, a full suite of specialist spaces (science, art, home economics, engineering, woodwork, media and ICT), a two-classroom SEN suite placed right alongside the main teaching areas, and a PE hall linking straight out to a full-size grass pitch and six hard courts.

The façades respond to orientation, daylight and long views toward the Shannon estuary, with a restrained palette of exposed concrete and warm natural finishes giving the school a civic presence in a fast-growing community.

Thanks to LCETB, the Department of Education, the contractor Coolsivna Construction Ltd and the full design team for a brilliant collaboration.

Delighted to share that three Healy Partners Architects projects feature in IRELAND architecture, 250+ buildings since 1990 by Seán Antóin Ó Muirí, published by Gandon Editions on 6 November.

The book documents the best architecture produced across Ireland, north and south, over the last 35 years, 281 buildings by 120 architects.

Our featured projects |

Burren College of Art, Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare
The Milk Market, Limerick
The Padel Club at Adare Manor, Co. Limerick

Three very different buildings, a place of learning in the Burren landscape, a civic market at the heart of Limerick, and a contemporary timber sports pavilion within a historic demesne, each shaped by a careful reading of place.

It’s a real privilege to sit alongside so many practices we admire. Thanks to Gandon Editions and Seán Antóin Ó Muirí, and to the clients, consultants, contractors and our team who made these buildings happen.

Available from good bookshops or direct at gandoneditions.com.

Planning Granted_
Michael Street, Limerick City_

We are pleased to announce that planning permission has been granted for our mixed-use residential development at Michael Street, Limerick City.

The site sits adjacent to Project Opera, the most significant piece of urban regeneration this city has undertaken in a generation, and with that comes a responsibility to contribute meaningfully to the emerging character of Limerick's city centre. Twenty-two apartments, ground-floor commercial space, and a green roof, contained within a seven-storey building on a compact 0.06 hectare plot. The constraints of the site were not obstacles but parameters that shaped the architecture from the outset.

Brick, glass, and local limestone were selected for their honesty, materials that age well, that belong to this place, and that speak to the permanence urban housing deserves. The building neither competes with its context nor disappears into it. It simply tries to be appropriate to its place and time.

Architecture works cumulatively. Each well-considered intervention contributes to the broader project of making cities more liveable, more sustainable, and more humane. That is the ambition that drives this practice.

Our thanks to the project team, Moloney Fox Consulting (M&E), DRA Consulting Engineers (C&S), MKO (Planning & Ecology), and (Archaeology), and to Limerick City and County Council for their constructive engagement throughout.
