€70m Project For Trinity College
Trinity College Dublin has announced a €70m project involving a new Trinity School of Business and an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Hub.
The School and Hub will be co-located as part of efforts to increase job creation across the campus and in Dublin city centre.
Following the announcement, Provost of Trinity Dr Patrick Prendergast said the new project highlighted the university's commitment to investing in innovation and entrepreneurship.
He said: "We want the message to go out to students in Ireland and globally that Trinity is a university that educates and motivates students to create jobs, as well as to get them.
"Working together, higher education institutions and Government can create the environment that draws the research and enterprise communities into partnerships, promoting innovation, entrepreneurship, and new business creation."
Work on the project is expected to begin in summer 2014 with a completion date of 2017.
The Trinity School of Business, located on the technology side of the campus along Dublin's Pearse Street, will offer a full range of business-related programmes at undergraduate, postgraduate and executive education levels as part of a new approach to entrepreneurship and innovation training for the whole university.
The overall development, spanning some 13,000 square metres with six storeys above ground and three below, will include a 600-seat auditorium, restaurant spaces for 200 people, public space where students can meet and ideas exchange, 'smart' classrooms with the latest digital technology, and a rooftop conference room.
