City of Armagh Rugby Football Club in (CARFC) was founded in 1875 and since 1977 have been located at their current site on the Friary Road in Armagh. The clubhouse and grounds have been extensively used during this period, not just by rugby club members and visiting rugby clubs but also by the local community and local sporting clubs. Part of the current facilities (approximately 700m2) are substandard (built in 1977) and there is a requirement to ensure that there are facilities suitable for female and disabled participants and that they are adequate and truly inclusive for everyone in CARFC's ever-growing community. It is the desire that the energy efficiency measures, accessibility and environmental improvements will increase participation volumes in all categories. Significantly, it will also encourage other organisations to use the facilities.
