This 60-second video shows the £7.2 million transformation of St Comgall’s into a multi-use community hub.
Work has been completed on the £7.2 million regeneration of St Comgall’s on Divis Street.
We contributed £3.5 million BIF funding with £3.7 million from the Northern Ireland Executive’s Social Investment Fund.
We delivered the project, which restored this Grade B1 listed, former school building and created a multi-use community facility, on behalf of Falls Community Council (FCC).
FCC recognised the significance of this historic building, which has been brought back into use for the benefit of current and future generations, providing an opportunity to link the past and the present and reinstate the building as a vibrant community asset.
The site was occupied by the old Belfast Model School from 1855 until it was destroyed by fire in 1922.
The current two storey building, known as Comgall’s Public Elementary School, opened in December 1932 and closed in the mid 1990s.
The project is designed to promote economic, educational, social and cultural benefits for the people who live and work in the local area and to promote good relations between communities through the provision of a multi-use community hub. The new facility includes:
St Comgall’s offers a range of rentable space for business start-ups and social enterprises.
