About Our Campuses
As Ireland’s first Technological University, TU Dublin stands on the shoulders of generations of students, staff, and institutions who shaped its story. Our campuses - both past and present - represent the foundation, growth, and vision of TU Dublin. For many of our alumni these locations are not just places - they are memories, milestones, and moments of transformation.
A Living Legacy
Each of these campuses played a vital role in shaping who we are today. Whether you studied in Rathmines or Grangegorman, Kevin Street or Blanchardstown, you are part of a shared TU Dublin story - one built on knowledge, community, and innovation. As we continue to evolve, we carry forward the spirit and traditions of all our campuses, keeping the past alive while forging ahead into the future.
Grangegorman
Our flagship campus at Grangegorman is the heart of a bold new chapter for TU Dublin. Opened in 2014 and continually expanding, Grangegorman brings together diverse disciplines - from the arts and media to sciences, health, and engineering - on a state-of-the-art campus in the heart of Dublin’s north inner city. With cutting-edge facilities, public spaces, and a dynamic community, it represents our vision for an integrated, sustainable university of the future.
Bolton Street
An iconic home of architectural and engineering education since the early 20th century, Bolton Street remains a vibrant part of TU Dublin. Its historic façade and strong legacy in design, construction, and the built environment continue to anchor us in tradition while embracing innovation.
Aungier Street
Located in Dublin’s south city centre, Aungier Street is known for excellence in business, management, and computing. It has played a pivotal role in fostering entrepreneurial spirit and industry engagement and remains a vital hub of activity for TU Dublin students and staff.
Tallaght
Originally established as the Institute of Technology Tallaght in 1992, this campus became part of TU Dublin in 2019. It serves as a key centre for STEM, business, and humanities programmes, and plays a strong role in community outreach and regional innovation.
Blanchardstown
Opening in 1999 as the Institute of Technology Blanchardstown, this West Dublin campus joined TU Dublin in 2019. Known for its supportive learning environment and strong ties with industry, Blanchardstown continues to grow as a centre of excellence in computing, engineering, and business.
Kevin Street
A cornerstone of technical education in Dublin, Kevin Street opened in 1887 and was long associated with science, optics, and computing. Generations of students passed through its doors until it closed in 2021, as activity transitioned to Grangegorman. Its legacy lives on in TU Dublin’s strong STEM identity.
Cathal Brugha Street
A landmark in Irish culinary and hospitality education, Cathal Brugha Street was home to the Dublin College of Catering, later known as the School of Culinary Arts and Food Technology. Generations of chefs, hoteliers, and hospitality leaders trained here, contributing to Ireland’s global reputation for excellence in food and service. The spirit of Cathal Brugha Street continues in TU Dublin’s world-class facilities at Grangegorman.
Mountjoy Square
This elegant Georgian square housed multiple institutions over the years, including earlier iterations of art, design, and teacher education schools. It served as a creative and academic space for thousands of students before TU Dublin’s centralisation in Grangegorman.
Chatham Row
A small but culturally significant campus, Chatham Row was home to the Conservatory of Music and Drama. Its role in nurturing Ireland’s musicians, performers, and educators was immense, with many alumni recalling its warm and intimate learning environment.
COMAD (Parnell Square and later Mountjoy Square)
The College of Marketing and Design, first based in Parnell Square and later Mountjoy Square, contributed significantly to Ireland’s commercial and creative sectors. COMAD was a forerunner in advertising, design, and retail marketing education.
Rathmines College of Commerce
This southside institution served as a major centre for business and accounting education and merged into the Dublin Institute of Technology framework, helping pave the way for the formation of TU Dublin. Its alumni network spans decades of business leadership in Ireland and beyond.
