Trinity College Dublin Opens Business School

Trinity College Dublin opened the $90 million Trinity Business School in May of 2019 in the Republic of Ireland. Offering six stories above grade and two below, the 123,000-sf facility features an innovation and entrepreneurship hub, smart classrooms, a 600-seat auditorium, a rooftop conference room, and a 200-person dining area. Leveraging natural lighting and ventilation strategies, the project was designed to optimize occupant health and wellbeing and features a central atrium, a living wall, a brise soleil, and a double-skin façade with high-performance glazing. The building also includes LED lighting, highly efficient building systems, occupancy sensors, a rooftop photovoltaic array, and toilets that reuse recycled rainwater. Ground was broken on the project in October of 2016.
