Building Project Updates

A new chapter has begun at Listowel Community Centre.

Under the helm of current manager Trevor Horan and the Board of Management, Listowel Community Centre is undergoing exciting, transformational changes to refurbish and extend the building, to enhance its services. Following the devastating fire, we are delighted to announce that construction of our new extension is now underway, with builders officially on site. This marks a significant milestone in our journey of rebuilding and renewal. We extend our sincere thanks to our Board of Directors, dedicated staff, funding partners and everyone who has supported us throughout this process. Your commitment and belief in our vision have helped make this exciting project a reality.

From Setback to Comeback

O’Callaghan Brothers commenced work on site 22 June 2026. We’re delighted to see our building project well underway, with works continuing on site and significant progress being made. Thanks to the excellent weather this summer, the project is in line with the current construction programme, bringing us another step closer to delivering an improved and renewed Listowel Community Centre for the whole community.

The photos capture the transformation taking place on site – from the initial preparation and demolition works, through the removal of the damaged building section, to the groundworks and construction now underway. Each stage marks important progress as the old structure makes way for the new building and improved facilities that will serve the community for years to come.

We look forward to sharing regular updates as the new extension takes shape and continues to strengthen our community for generations to come.

Building Project Updates

In November 2022, a fire broke out late at night in the upstairs area of Listowel Community Centre. Thankfully, no one was injured however the blaze caused significant damage to one side of the building and left the entire upstairs area unusable. As a result, the centre was forced to close its doors until March 2023. Amid this challenging time, Trevor Horan stepped into the role of manager – a formidable task given the circumstances. With determination, vision and the unwavering support of the Listowel community, Trevor led the effort to restore and rejuvenate the centre. Thanks to this collective resilience, the centre and BASE Gym have not only recovered but have come back stronger than ever. What stands today is a testament to the spirit of teamwork, community and perseverance.
