Climate Centre Newbridge

The Newbridge Town Renewal Plan identified the a Cultural Quarter to create a stronger identity for the town. MacCabe Durney Barnes and Metropolitan Workshop were retained by Kildare County Council to consider the fasibility of a Climate Action and Sustainability Centre of Excellence and Research Institute, to be located to the area of the Newbridge Town Hall, within the Cultural Quarter. The centre would be used as a research development space, tourism and visitor experience and provide training among other roles and functions. The feasibility considered four options which considered the key features of the centre, programmes and initiatives to be delivered, the organisational structure and staffing, the premises and facilities to be used and the funding and delivery mechanism.
