NAAS LIBRARY OFFICIAL OPENING

Duggan Lynch are delighted to have attended the official opening of the new Naas Library on the 15th April, 2024 hosted by Kildare County Council.

This project has become a remarkable success for Naas. As the main contractors, Duggan Lynch Builders constructed two modern extensions and completed comprehensive conservation, refurbishment and fitout of the existing three-story building. Originally built as a gaol in 1796, this historic structure has been transformed into a state-of-the-art library and cultural centre.

The revitalised facility now features study and workspaces, sensory rooms, a gallery, an amphitheatre, and a public garden designed to serve the community’s diverse needs.

Some of the works undertaken by Duggan Lynch included:

  • construction of two rear extensions (single and 2-storey) to provide extended library on the ground floor
  • additional fire escape stairs and plant room
  • approximate area 1015m2 of internal alterations/refurbishment of existing rooms to form the new library/ meeting rooms.
  • conservation works to the structure
