Refurbishment and Extension of Adare Village Hall - Protected Historic Structure

This project involves the comprehensive refurbishment, conservation, and sympathetic extension of Adare Village Hall, a protected structure with significant architectural and cultural heritage value in Ireland. The work will preserve the building's historic character while modernizing its facilities for community use. Refurbishment activities include repair and restoration of original features such as masonry walls, roof structures, windows, and interior finishes, following best conservation practices and statutory requirements for protected structures. The proposed extension will be carefully designed to complement the existing building in scale, form, and materials, adding functional space including improved accessibility, modern sanitary facilities, and better circulation. Associated works encompass upgrades to mechanical and electrical services, fire safety enhancements, improved thermal performance, and full compliance with current Building Regulations. External improvements will include site development, drainage, and accessibility enhancements. Contractors must have demonstrated experience in heritage conservation, protected structure work, and compliance with conservation guidelines. The project prioritizes sustainable reuse of the heritage asset while meeting contemporary community needs and accessibility standards.
