In 2009, Co. Monaghan Vocational Education Committee commenced the redevelopment of the former Military Barracks site, to consist of a Multi-user Education Campus incorporating Gaelscoil Ultain Primary School, Coláiste Oiriall Post-Primary School, Monaghan Institute of Further Education, a Sports Hall and the Garage Theatre.

 Co. Monaghan VEC was the first VEC to formally receive sanction from the Department of Education and Skills to manage a project of this scale on a “devolved basis”.

Now completed the Campus consists of five buildings and associated playing pitches on a 20 acre site adjacent to the Black Water valley.

Leading Edge Project Directors were appointed to Project Manage this devolved project on behalf of Co. Monaghan VEC. Leading Edge acted as Employers Representative and managed the procurement process for the appointment of a Single Point Design Team and the Main Contractor.
