A multi-million-euro investment has been sanctioned for Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed in Thurles, delivering a significant improvement in facilities for its growing school community.
The project was advanced by the school and its patron and managing authority, Tipperary Education and Training Board.
Funding has been sanctioned by the Department of Education, while Tipperary County Council is responsible for the relevant local planning decisions.
This development will provide 11 classrooms, including three additional general classrooms and new specialist facilities for Home Economics, Design and Communication Graphics, and Science.
Five prefabricated classrooms that have been in place for more than 35 years will now be replaced. A purpose-built ASD classroom with a dedicated sensory space will also be provided, supporting a more modern and inclusive learning environment.
In addition to the new accommodation, the existing school building will undergo a comprehensive roof retrofit.
This substantial public investment represents an important milestone for Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed and will provide improved facilities for students, staff and the wider Thurles community for many years to come.
