Planning has now been submitted for ATU’s new Veterinary Teaching Facility in Letterkenny – an exciting milestone for the project.
The proposed development will create a dedicated home for veterinary education, bringing together specialist teaching spaces, practical training facilities and animal care within a new purpose-designed campus.
The architectural approach takes its cues from the rural Donegal landscape and traditional Irish settlement patterns, drawing inspiration from farmsteads, ringforts and historic enclosed courtyards. These influences are reinterpreted through a series of contemporary agricultural forms arranged around sheltered central courtyards.
Landscape and biodiversity are central to the proposals, with new native planting, habitat creation and measures to support local biodiversity across the site.
It’s great to see the project reach this important stage following a significant collaborative effort by the client and wider design team.
