Ballina Innovation Quarter, Refurbishment & Conservation of Ballina Military Barracks at Market Square, Ballina, Co. Mayo

Client: Mayo County Council

Ballina Military Barracks Restoration into Digital Hub Office and a Light manufacturing/commercial entity and redevelopment of adjacent Public Realm Spaces

The Innovation Quarter is located in the heart of Ballina town centre on a site that dates back to the 18th century. The large space, made up of a complex of three two-storey buildings, began its life as a Military Barracks in 1743. The traces of the past which could be retained are married with the modern to create a world-class innovation hub and enterprise space. The entire complex is powered by renewable energy sources.

The new Innovation Quarter boasts state-of-the-art facilities in a historic setting. The 20,000 sq foot site also incorporates a central community plaza. Additional funding from the Department of Tourism, Culture and the Arts, has enabled Mayo County Council to develop Military Square as a community space and performance space.
