College buildings

  

The buildings on the campus at Letterfrack are a mix of the old and the strikingly new. The old building was a part of the former, sadly notorious and notoriously sad, Industrial School for boys, which closed in 1974. In 1987 Connemara West started a small woodworking programme. in collaboration with GMIT. New buildings, designed by the Dublin-based architects O’Donnell + Tuomey, were added in 2002 to accommodate the increasing student numbers. The new buildings are a timber frame structure with green oak cladding, and won awards from both the Royal Institute of Architects in Ireland and Architectural Association of Ireland in 2001 and 2002.
