History

In 1968 the Christian Brothers allocated land from its land part of the St. Helen's period house for the building of two schools: a girls' school, Coláiste Íosagáin, was established in 1971 under the control of the Sisters of Mercy, and a boys' school, Coláiste Eoin, under the control of the Christian Brothers. The school occupied temporary premises at Carysfort College, Blackrock from 1971–1975 when it moved to the Stillorgan Road new building. In 1983, President Hillery opened the new Coláiste Íosagáin school.

Sport

New buildings

Шаблон:Unreferenced section Early in the 1990s it was deemed that the school's existing single storey buildings, built in the 1970s, were too small to accommodate the expansion of both Coláiste Eoin and Íosagáin.Шаблон:Fact It was decided that the school would require both a new classroom block and a sports hall/auditorium. The project, however, experienced difficulties from the outset due to a lack of funds. It took many years of collecting voluntary donations from parents and other members of the public for the project to even reach the planning stage.Шаблон:Fact A second barrier was posed by the fact that additional accommodation could only be placed in a constricted rear area of the site, because the existing grass, Gaelic pitch to the south of this site was "sacrosanct".Шаблон:Fact This restricted site condition caused the new building to be formed into two shared elements: a four storey academic block, and a sports hall with performance space. Despite these difficulties, building finally commenced in 2001, of a Grafton Architects-designed structure that met with all the schools requirements.Шаблон:Fact The project was completed in 2003 and has since won an award at the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland Awards 2004.Шаблон:Fact Work later commenced for a new building to be built on the far-side of Coláiste Íosagáin's main building, on a small side section of the school grass pitch in summer of 2013.Шаблон:Fact The building consists of new classrooms, new changing rooms and chiefly, a school oratory. The building was completed in early December 2013 and is named 'Aireagal', because the main principle of the building is to provide an oratory for the students. This building completed the refurbishment of the school,Шаблон:Fact and means that no more classes are held in prefabricated buildings.Шаблон:Fact
