Project Overview

A new educational campus located in the heart of Dublin’s International Financial Services Centre, the National College of Ireland buildings integrate 7,500m2 of business-related teaching spaces, a research building of 2,500 m2 and living accommodation for 286 students. The college building’s centre-piece, a 270-seat tiered lecture theatre, is supported by library and IT services, a crèche, café, gymnasium and retail point. The building’s exterior finish communicates purposefulness but also warmth and welcome.
