EPR Architects have submitted for planning a design for a new grandstand at the Curragh Racecourse in Kildare, Ireland. This is part of an overall masterplan that involves moving the road and the construction of a new hotel and entrance approach to the grandstand.

The new grandstand will cater for up to 50,000 people over 5 levels and has been designed to allow for the maximum number of spectators in the optimum position at the finishing line. Primary public approach is from the east with the oval end acting as a 'signifer' for the racecourse and also terminates the access vista. The oval is the centrepiece, positioned at the finishing line and completing the build up of the grandstand and linked hotel with crowd over the final furlong.
