A new €22 million "peace campus" has been officially opened in Monaghan Town today. The four storey community building located in the heart of Monaghan town has been under construction since July 2020. This project provides a new four-storey mixed use community building, comprising of a Cultural Heritage Centre, Library, Youth Facility, Shared Community Multi-Functional Space with External Community Space and Underground Parking.
Over the coming months, a host of new community and cultural amenities will be provided alongside multiple new anchor tenants. The town library will open its doors on Monday, the 13th of May followed by Monaghan County Museum at the end of June. Speaking at today's official opening, Cllr Paudge Connolly who is Chairperson of the 'Steering Committee' for the Peace Campus said this new building will provide an opportunity for people of all backgrounds to come together. He described the building as a "landmark" in the town - which will only benefit the people of Monaghan going forward.
