We will develop and inhabit our space responsibly.Goal 7

Trinity has one of the world’s most beautiful campuses. We inhabit an historic, residential campus, located in the heart of a vibrant and fast- changing city. This unique space is an intrinsic part of Trinity’s distinctive quality that creates a unique student experience and draws more than a million visitors annually. This comes with a responsibility to look after it, maximise its potential in a sustainable manner, develop the relationship with our neighbours and integrate it more into the fabric of the city. Working and living within the bounds of a city-centre campus means understanding our space better and reshaping it so that we can use it more efficiently. As stewards of some remarkable historic buildings, we will begin work to conserve our landmark Old Library, as well as restoring the oldest building on campus, the Rubrics, which dates from the 1690s. At the same time, we are building for the future. The next five-year period will commence with the opening of substantial new student accommodation at Printing House Square. With the support of our donors, we will build an innovative new teaching space, the Martin Naughton E3 Learning Foundry, and begin work both on a new Law School and on the Trinity St. James’s Cancer Institute at our partner St. James’s Hospital’s site. The next five years will also be the period in which we will lay the groundwork for our second campus, Trinity @ Grand Canal Quay, a transformational development project for Ireland’s future.
