A PUBLIC CONSULTATION event on the eagerly awaited One Shannon Hub is to take place next month.
Acting Director of Services in the Shannon Municipal District, Siobhán McNulty told Tuesday’s meeting that a public consultation on the preliminary design for the proposed One Shannon Hub, a civic and cultural building for Shannon will be held on December 7th from 4pm to 7pm in the Shannon Town Centre.
The event will be held at unit A10, adjacent to the lifts. A preliminary design for the One Shannon Hub has been prepared and the project team will be available to meet the public to discuss the proposal and to hear their thoughts. The project team would like to get feedback from as many people as possible.
Views of the public on the evening will help shape the vision for the future of the civic and cultural hub for Shannon.
In July, Clare County Council signed contracts with BDP (Integrated Design Team) and Tom McNamara & Partners (Integrated QS & Project Manager) for the design of a multi-functional building known as the ‘One Shannon Hub’.
This will combine a town hall, an adaptable performance and community space, library, and flexible co-working spaces in the heart of Shannon.
A 999 year lease for the site owned by Shannon Commercial Properties was agreed on by Clare County Council in August 2022.
