Citywest Youth Facility Project to be finished by end of Summer 2027
THE Citywest Youth Facility project is anticipated to be completed and ready to open by the end of Summer 2027, as it continues to advance through the design and procurement stages.
A ground-floor unit within The Quarter development has been chosen as the location for the facility, sitting adjacent to the Fortunestown Luas Stop. Once completed, the facility will be jointly managed by Foroige and South Dublin County Council Arts Office, providing a “vibrant and welcoming space for young people.”
The facility will include a youth café, dance studio, activity and classroom spaces, artist studios, a recording studio, training workshop facilities, meeting rooms and office accommodation.
South Dublin County Council provided this information following a request by Councillor Louise Dunne, who sought an update on the Citywest Youth Facility fit-out project identified in the Council’s 2026-2028 Capital Programme.
According to SDCC, at present, the Architectural Services Department has successfully completed the procurement of the multi-disciplinary design team.
The procurement of both the Mechanical & Electrical Consultant and Quantity Surveyor is currently underway. The next phase of the project will involve finalising the appointment of the remaining consultants and preparing the detailed design and tender documentation required for the fit-out works.
Once this process has been completed, the fit-out stage will commence.
“The delivery of this facility represents a significant investment in youth services in the Citywest area and will provide a modern, accessible hub for youth engagement, creativity, learning and community participation,” SDCC stated.
