Located on O'Connell Street, in the heart of the southern Irish city of Limerick, the International Rugby Experience building is respectfully inserted amid historical constructions. Reaching a maximum height close to 34 meters and a total area of 2,110 square meters distributed in seven floor levels, the rugby center features spaces for exhibitions, educational activities, and events.

The facades take on a sculptural presence thanks to the reddish-toned brick pillars, in between which stretch horizontal elements of prefabricated concrete. The balance of openings and solid walls is adapted to functions housed indoors. Providing a protected public space, a large portico marks the entrance into the building, the interior of which combines bricks and vaulted ceilings. Upstairs, a public hall with double-height windows gives panoramic views of the city.
