"Self-contained living suites" being proposed for Kildare town
Kildare County Council considering proposals
Self-contained living suites being planned in Kildare town.
A planning application for the RACE facility was submitted to Kildare County Council by the Race Academy and Centre of Education (RACE) on the Dublin Road.
Being planned is the renovation and internal reconfiguration of the existing two-storey detached senior dormitory on site.
The designs include the provision of eight self-contained living suites (each consisting of one bedroom, one bathroom and one kitchen/living area over both floors) for use by international and national students as on-site accommodation for race educational attendees.
The planning documents include the construction of a two-storey central staircase and entrance lobby to accommodate the proposed development.
Amendments to the roof and façade materials and additional doors and windows are also included.
