History
The hospital, which was designed by George Wilkinson opened as the Castlebar Asylum in 1866.[1] It was extended in the late 1890s.[1] It became the Castlebar Mental Hospital in the 1920s and it went on to become St. Mary's Hospital in the 1950s.[1]
Pádraig Flynn, Minister of State at the Department of Transport, officially opened a new Industrial Therapy Unit in May 1981.[2] After the introduction of deinstitutionalisation in the late 1980s the hospital went into a period of decline[3][4] and closed in 2006.[2] The building was converted for use as the Mayo Campus of the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology in 1994.[2]
