UCD O’Connor Centre for Learning
On this page
The UCD O’Connor Centre for Learning has been designed with active learning as its core objective, incorporating the kinds of formal and informal spaces that students need to acquire and practice the wide range of skills that they will need to thrive in the 21st century.
The UCD O’Connor Centre for Learning will provide a modern, technology-enabled learning environment, designed for flexibility of use, with adaptable spaces to facilitate group activities and engagement with lecturers. The design also pays close attention to the circulation spaces within the building to create a welcoming and comfortable space to meet and to study.
The building will consist of 11,580m2 of floor space across 4 levels, incorporating teaching and workspace facilities, an atrium and other common areas.
