PROJECT DETAILS

Marino Institute of Education

BKD Architects were appointed in 1998 by the Governing Body to prepare a Masterplan for the development of the Institute as a Centre of Education and Personal Development. A key requirement was that development should be self financing and not dependant on grants, subsidies or the sale of land. The Masterplan was adopted in 2000 and received Planning Permission in 2001. The layout is based on a pedestrian spine (Maple Walk) linking a series of external spaces defined by existing and future buildings. Existing landscape features and the scale of existing structures retained on the site are central to the character of the Campus as it develops. Phase 1 of the Masterplan has been built out and the framework is in position for further development.
