Description
St. Angela’s College Cork founded in 1887 is located on the north bank of the city centre within a tight urban setting. The almost landlocked site is located along the steeply sloping iconic St. Patrick Hill occupying an entire urban block on various levels containing three protected historic buildings.
O’Donnell + Tuomey developed a scheme interlinking the existing structures and site levels with three new major building interventions creating a unique school campus on five levels opening the site up to the city and creating a vibrant learning environment.
