Pipers Hill Community College is located on a greenfield site just outside Naas town. The new school is one of four schools, forming an educational campus with shared sports facilities. The school is designed to cater for 1000 pupils and is arranged around a south-facing courtyard. The courtyard together with the adjoining double height foyer form the social hub of the school. Due to the sloped nature of the campus site, the school steps to three stories along the western boundary, thereby minimising the impact of such a large building on the landscape. Pipers Hill Community College was completed on programme and on budget in August 2009.
