COLLEGE CAMPUS - MAY 2017
A QUICK VISIT TO THE GRANGEGORMAN DIT CAMPUS [ MAY 2017 ]
When fully completed the Grangegorman Campus will accommodate over 20,000 staff and students and for the first time all DIT activities, currently in 39 buildings throughout the city of Dublin, will be located on one integrated campus.
Grangegorman is located in the Dublin 7 postal district. North of the River Liffey and about 1 km from Dublin city centre, its boundaries run along Brunswick Street North, Prussia Street and Manor Street, the North Circular Road and Phibsborough Road and Constitution Hill. Grangegorman is surrounded to the south east by Smithfield to the west by Stoneybatter, north by Cabra, to the north and east by Phibsborough / Broadstone.
Grangegorman Development Agency is an agency of the Government of Ireland charged with redevelopment of the Grangegorman Campus, formerly within the curtilage of St. Brendan's Hospital. Grangegorman (Irish: Gráinseach Ghormáin) itself is an inner city area on the Northside of Dublin. Grangegorman, at 29 hectares, is the largest undeveloped site in the City of Dublin.
The Grangegorman Urban Quarter is a proposed education, health and community development by the Grangegorman Development Agency for Dublin Institute of Technology and the Health Service Executive. The site's design has been provided by the American architectural firm of Moore Ruble Yudell under the direction of Irish-born Architect James Mary O'Connor. The surrounding community is an equal stakeholder in the project and receives technical support from the Grangegorman Community Forum. On July 17, 2012 The Grangegorman Development Agency was awarded funding from the Irish Government as a part of a €2.5billion stimulus package for the country.
In September 2010, the Irish Government launched a major new urban regeneration development programme which will include state of the art mental health facilities, a purpose-built third level education campus for the Dublin Institute of Technology (“DIT”) and a variety of public amenities, to be built on the grounds of St. Brendan’s Hospital in Grangegorman in Dublin 7. This development includes the “DIT Campus at Grangegorman – East and Central Quads Public Private Partnership Programme”, which is being delivered under a single contract to design, build, finance and maintain the two quads for 25 years.
In September 2019, programmes currently operating in the Cathal Brugha Street Campus, the Kevin Street Campus and part of the Rathmines Campus will transfer to two new structures known as the Central and East Quads. In addition, the programmes that transferred in 2014 from Mountjoy Square, Portland Row and Temple Bar will transfer from the newly refurbished buildings to the East Quad. This will bring the number of students on campus to just over 10,000.
