County Buildings (Irish: Áras an Chontae, Cill Mhantáin) is a municipal facility in Whitegates, Wicklow, County Wicklow, Ireland.
History
Originally Wicklow County Council held its meetings in Wicklow Courthouse.[1] The county council moved a new facility, designed in the brutalist style, built in concrete and glass, and known as County Buildings, in 1977.[2] The new building was extended to take on a cruciform shape in 1999 and extended again to a design by the Building Design Partnership in 2006.[3] A customer care unit, introducing touchscreen technology, was created in the foyer of the county buildings in spring 2019.[4]
