Ballinamore Secondary School is situated on the outskirts of the town on a sloping sitebounded by trees and streams, opening to views of distant fields, farms andmountains- the colours the colours of rural Ireland, brown, green, blacks and yellow reds changing through the seasons. The school builds the site, excavating and filling, making a pitch, experimentation & external teaching areas, bog gardens & raised beds, then constructing a series of cranked blocks ( in plan and section ) to re-shape a new geography on the site. The two main classroom blocks fold out to make a generous and welcoming entrance; internally the focus is a double-height concourse at the intersection of the volumes with splayed corridors off it cut by courtyards providing light and views.
