School of Nursing, St. Angela's College, Lough Gill, Ireland. Architect: Moloney O'Beirne Architects, 2007. View to exterior fro


The building takes three forms, lecture theatre, timber clad box and a folding plane, that cantilevers over the library, holding the two box forms together. All finishes and forms break the boundary between internal and external spaces creating transparency between the landscape and spaces within the building. Entrance is formed on first floor level at a natural contour. A treble height entrance space full height glazing presents fantastic views of Lough Gill. This space acts as an organising device on plan with campus shared spaces on the first floor, secure clinical skill rooms on the ground floor, college library on the second floor.
