Finglas Primary Care Centre
The Finglas Primary Care Centre project is a transformative development creating a vital community healthcare hub in Dublin. Located adjacent to Cardiffsbridge Road, this 10,517 m² facility integrates HSE Primary Care, GP practices, Enhanced Local Care, and Tusla services into a cohesive “one-stop-shop” for community health and social care.
The design features connected three- and four-storey pavilions arranged around stepped courtyard gardens, breaking down the overall mass and creating a visually appealing, human-scaled environment. Key elements include a prominent street frontage, an expansive atrium foyer, flexible internal spaces, accessible circulation areas and ample glazing for natural light. The exterior combines brick, glass and aluminium cladding, integrating with its surroundings while ensuring high performance and sustainability.
Prioritising clear wayfinding and efficient patient flow, the design incorporates 88 car parking spaces, 4 motorcycle spaces, 64 sheltered bicycle spaces and a set-down area. The project also includes the relocation and improvement of sports facilities, featuring 3 astro-pitches, a new reduced-size all-weather GAA pitch with a perimeter walking track and flood lighting.
Additionally, the development resurfaces and extends an existing car park to support the City of Dublin sports facilities, providing 71 spaces and 20 sheltered bicycle spots. The project also encompasses facade upgrades to existing buildings, new boundary treatments and comprehensive landscaping.
This integrated approach aims to improve healthcare outcomes, reduce pressure on acute services and provide coordinated care at the community level. The Finglas Primary Care Centre will serve as a welcoming community asset that promotes wellness, integrates with its surroundings and sets a new standard for primary care developments
