Description

This post-war building in Dundonald, Belfast, County Down, originally served as a library and health-centre complex. Constructed of grey concrete brick with curtain glazing, a defining feature is its paraboloid roof. It was initially surveyed during the First Survey but was not considered significant enough for listing. A partial survey was undertaken during the Second Survey for the same reason. The building is currently used as a library and is owned by the Education Board.
