Transforming Learning at TU Dublin: The Academic Hub

The Academic Hub at TU Dublin in Grangegorman promises to be a transformative addition to the campus. This ambitious project will culminate in a 12,600 square meter, state-of-the-art building designed to house an extensive range of student and staff support services. The Career Development Centre, Assistive Technologies, Maths Learning Centre, and Academic Writing Centre will all find a new home in this centralised location.

By consolidating TU Dublin's seven library sites into this single comprehensive facility, the Academic Hub will enhance student access to vital resources and support networks.

Government Support for Tertiary Education

This landmark development represents a significant investment of over €70 million by the Irish government into tertiary education. Funding comes from a strategic combination of TU Dublin property sales and exchequer funding made available through the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.

"Today marks another major step in the advancement of TU Dublin as we move forward with a new Academic Hub & Library on this ever-growing campus. The Academic Hub, which thoughtfully incorporates the historic North House into its design, is a truly exciting and impressive development. Consolidating seven library sites into this single, state-of-the-art facility will provide students and staff with exceptional resources to achieve their best," stated Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris TD, when marking the occasion on January 11th.
