RoanKabin Sponsors Learning Space
Competition for Young Architects
(Jan 2010)
Queen’s University Belfast, graduates
Laura Martin and Cormac Maguire from County Antrim,
have been selected as the winners of UCD’s Learning
Space competition for their design of the new school
building for Holy Rosary Primary School, in Ballycragh,
Firhouse, Dublin 24. John Walsh, Sarah Williams and
Deirdre Brophy were the other three finalists of the
competition, organised by UCD Architecture (and sponsored
by RoanKabin) to find a new design for the Tallaght
school, while giving graduates the opportunity to showcase
their talent.
The four finalists were shortlisted from 20 participants.
The winner received a cash prize and the opportunity
to take up a threemonth work placement with sponsor
RoanKabin, at the company’s drawings and contracts
department. All other finalists received cash prizes.
RoanKabin has also provided funding, which will be used
for the supply of materials for model presentations.
School Principal Max Canon was very impressed with the
quality of the projects presented: “We got some
ideas from staff and children at the school and we set
up a list of what they would like to have in their new
school: respect for the environment, community, respect
for local history, facilities for special needs,”
he explains.
“The Architecture students really listened to
what the teachers and children had to say. They took
into account the needs and requirements of the school
and they came up with very innovative ideas.”
The development of the winning project will now depend
on the Irish Department of Education.
