The Trinity Long Room Hub – Capital Phase
A beacon for world class research
The Trinity Long Room Hub building development in Fellows’ Square will progress world class research in Arts and Humanities at Trinity. It will be a beacon to attract internationally recognized research specialists to work with the Faculty, the Library and on special collections.
Planning permission has been granted for the 1,100 sq m development. The establishment of the External Advisory Board of the Long Room Hub has been instrumental in the development and sourcing of philanthropic funding.
Work commenced in June 2009 with expected completion March in 2010.
With an estimated cost of €7M, €5.8M capital funding has been raised under the Government’s Programme for Research in Third-Level Institutions (PRTLI).
Research and outreach activities are also attracting contributions from philanthropic and other sources. Significant operational funding has been received from the Trinity Foundation Board.
