Grangegorman Campus Development TU Dublin, in conjunction with the Grangegorman Development Agency, Health Service Executive and Dublin City Council, is developing a new city centre campus at Grangegorman in Dublin’s north west inner city. The campus will bring together the University’s core and supporting activities in the city centre in a single vibrant environment, integrating with the strategic development of Dublin City and providing a range of facilities for students and staff, for industry and the wider community. Ultimately, TU Dublin will have three campuses, Blanchardstown, Grangegorman and Tallaght. In April 2018, construction began on the Central and East Quad at Grangegorman. This continues at a pace with buildings due for occupation by 10,000 students and 600 staff in September 2020. Central Quad With a vast floor area of 35,000m 2 , the Central Quad is the most significant building at Grangegorman and will become the new home to the College of Sciences and Health, as well as the Schools of Culinary Arts and Food Technology, Hospitality Management and Tourism and Electrical and Electronic Engineering, representing the following disciplines: • Biological Sciences • Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences • Computing • Food Science and Environmental Health • Physics and Clinical & Optometric Sciences, including the National Optometry Centre • Electrical and Electronic Engineering • Culinary Arts and Food Technology • Hospitality Management and Tourism at the forefront of scientific discovery. The building has been designed as a quadrangle with a central courtyard. The entrance to the building at the central atrium brings you to a double height space with a light slot that reaches the roof level. This bright and colourful space houses a café and a variety of breakout spaces. Emphasis on facilitating informal learning will carry through all floors with substantial breakout areas on every level where students can gather in small groups. Large lecture spaces, including a 250-seater main theatre, are clustered on the ground floor facilitating conferences and public events. Training restaurants and hospitality facilities are also located on the ground floor, directly fronting onto St Brendan’s Way so that students and visitors can enjoy a range of dining options. Highly specialised laboratories and learning centres will provide a world-class education environment, attracting the best and brightest students to TU Dublin and position researchers
East Quad: The East Quad will be a Cultural Hub not only for the Grangegorman campus but also for the city. The East Quad will be accessed directly via the Broadstone Gate and the Broadstone Luas stop. It will be home to four Schools: • Dublin School of Creative Arts • School of Media • Conservatory of Music and Drama • School of Languages, Law and Social Sciences The fluid nature of the design and the vibrancy of the learning environment will facilitate exhibitions of students’ visual artwork as well as dramatic and musical performances in the 400-seat Concert Hall, 80-seat Black Box Theatre and 80-seat Recital Hall, all of which will be entirely accessible for general audiences. The design of the external spaces and landscaping outside the building will also be conducive to a variety of uses such as performance, media projection and sculpture exhibitions. What Happens Next at Grangegorman? In association with the GDA, Department of Education and Skills and Department of Finance and Public Expenditure & Reform, TU Dublin is working to deliver the next phase of the Grangegorman campus, the West Quad, which will include the relocation of 5,000 College of Business students to Grangegorman by 2021. This phase of development will also deliver the academic hub and library, the campus energy centre, accommodation and additional catering and student centred services.
