Contract Signed for Newbridge Library, County Archives and Cultural Centre Project
Kildare County Council has signed a contract with Townlink Construction Ltd for the delivery of the new Newbridge Library, County Archives and Cultural Centre. The €18.18 million project, located on the Athgarvan Road, Newbridge, is being part-funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht.
The development will see the refurbishment and regeneration of the historic library building, originally constructed in 1936, with a substantial new extension which will replace the existing branch library building, constructed in the 1970s. The design was developed by Metropolitan Workshop Architecture and Urbanism, supported by the consultant team including JCA Architects, AECOM, and BB7. The project is being managed by the Special Projects Team in Kildare County Council.
