Following its completion in November 2018 the new St. Patrick’s Academy was officially opened by President Michael D Higgins on the 7th of March 2019. The occasion marked the culmination of decades of planning for the school and Tracey Brothers are delighted to have delivered the new state-of-the-art facilities.

On the 1st of March 2019 we held a very successful Passive House workshop / training session at our SWC Erne Campus site.

The workshop focused on airtightness, which is probably the most critical matter in achieving a Passive House Project.

The new SWC Erne Campus, will see the delivery of the FIRST educational building WORLDWIDE to achieve the highest international standard in environmental construction – PASSIVHAUS PREMIUM.

The new school building at St. Patrick’s Academy is now complete with the next phase of works well underway.

Works on the new Pavilion are progressing with 20% of the ring beam complete. The main drainage for the Tennis Courts & Training Fields is complete with works progressing on the main Football Pitch. Works on the retaining wall are 65% complete and should be completed in the coming days.

The restoration of the historic Pump House building and scheduled monuments at Alexandra Dock is now complete. The finished building is now home to the HMS Caroline Visitor Reception & Tickets area along with dedicated Exhibition space featuring much of the original Edwardian-era machinery and associated technology.

Visitors to HMS Caroline can now gain access to the vessel via the new 25-metre steel and timber footbridge spanning the dock.

The first sod has been cut on the site of the new South West College Erne Campus.

The new campus will be constructed on the site of the former Erne Hospital in Enniskillen. When completed, the building will further enhance South West College’s existing global reputation in the sustainable construction sector and will be used to attract international companies and students in this field.
