McAvoy was awarded the project following a competitive tendering process via the SEWSCAP framework.
When Longford and Westmeath ETB had an urgent requirement for classrooms at Castlepollard Community College, our McAvoy team worked quickly to provide our SmartClass modular solution ahead of the new term starting in September.
