Planning permission granted for new £25m St Killian’s College

A proposal for the construction of a new 9,737 sqm building and demolition of existing school buildings at St Killian’s College, Carnlough, has been given the go-ahead by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council’s planning committee.

Bennett Freehill is providing Mechanical and Electrical Engineering services on this significant educational project as part of the Hamilton Architects led design team.

Commenting on the decision, St Killian’s principal Jonny Brady said he was:

“Delighted at what is a significant step forwards toward a new school in east Antrim and the Glens. I am especially delighted for all of our students and staff who thoroughly deserve to have the best resources to continue to deliver the high quality of learning and teaching which has been the hallmark of St Killian’s and for our parents who have supported us throughout this time and who will all now begin to see the rewards in the building of a state of the art school to deliver both curricular and pastoral excellence. It will be a great resource for the whole community.”
