Proposed development

PROTECTED STRUCTURE: Permission is sought by The Marist Educational Authority for modifications to the previously approved proposal [under Dublin City Council Reg.Ref. 5010/22] for the redevelopment of the existing three storey Canteen and Classroom Building in the south/east corner of the campus at Catholic University School [CUS] 89,90,91and 92 Leeson Street Lower, Dublin2. Numbers 89,90,91 + 92 Leeson Street Lower are Protected Structures – Ref numbers 4444, 4445, 4446, 4447 in the DCC Record of Protected Structures. The approved building consisted of a Gym at basement level, with an access tunnel link to the Administration building, and the equivalent of five floors overhead. The new proposal consists of constructing the Gym at ground floor level with the equivalent of four floors overhead. The access tunnel link is removed as is the fifth floor. The parapet height of the proposed building will line with the apex of the gable to the Examination Hall and will be circa 305mm higher than the previously approved building. Accommodation will consist of a Gym with equipment storage rooms at ground floor level, changing rooms at mezzanine and first floor levels, 2No. Classrooms + 2No. Science Rooms at second and third floor levels. Other ancillary spaces, including Toilets, Locker areas and Science Preparation rooms, are to be provided at each level as appropriate. To facilitate means of escape from the new ground floor Gym, escape doors are to be provided at the eastern end to Quinn’s Lane, the western end to Stable Lane, and the northern end to the school yard. A fireman’s entrance is to be provided in the staircase to allow access from Quinn’s Lane. There are no works envisaged to the Examination Hall.
