Cycling or walking is without doubt the greenest way to reach the Campus and has major health benefits! UCD has a number of dedicated pedestrian and cyclist entrances, which motorists cannot enter.
I used this entrance twice and on the second visit I actually entered the campus via the Rosemount entrance and left via the Roebuck gate in order to catch the 17 bus to Dundrum.
I used my Apply iPhone XR for the second visit and it had been updated to iOS 17 a few hours earlier and it kept crashing and overheating to the extent that it was close to unusable. A later update to 17.0.1 has resolved the more serious issues but I am st1ll having problems with the device
In 2011 the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Simon Coveney TD, today officially opened Rosemount Environmental Research Station, a major new research station in the heart of UCD’s Belfield campus. The Minister welcomed the new development at UCD which provides cutting edge facilities for a diverse range of research disciplines including Plant Biology, Plant Biotechnology, Horticulture, Agriculture and Environmental and Evolutionary Biology.
There has been a crèche on the UCD campus for approximately 30 years. Over this time the crèche has seen many developments, growing from an initial forty-place facility into a nursery that now has provision for over a hundred children. The current purpose-built centre was refurbished in 2006 and the most recent expansion was completed in Jan 2011. Oakmount Creche is situated near the Clonskeagh/Rosemount/Roebuck entrances of the campus. Located beside a beautiful woodland area, this one-storey building has three gardens at its disposal where the children explore, have fun and play games in safety.
