The new Innovation Corridor in the UCD Quinn School of Business comprises a suite of modern facilities to provide students with a range of diverse learning experiences outside the traditional classroom environment.

The Deloitte Data Analytics Lab is equipped with Bloomberg terminals, the tool of choice for business and finance professionals. As well as being the leading platform for all forms of financial research and trading, this comprehensive resource provides experience, training and insight into the world of business decisions based on formal analysis of large-scale live commercial data. The system is complemented by extensive engagement with Bloomberg professional staff, who contribute to teaching in business analytics, management, finance and accounting.

The Collaborative Workspace is an area with a flexible layout, designed for interactive facilitated group activities such as case discussions and idea generation.

Four Studios surround the Collaborative Workspace and provide technology-enabled conference facilities for student teams to work together on presentations.

Two of the studios also provide technology for students to record themselves presenting providing an invaluable tool for students to continually work on and improve their presentations skills.

Dr. Michael MacDonnell, Director of the UCD Quinn School of Business, noted that “This new facility underpins recent developments in the Commerce curriculum; together these help to enhance the learning and career outcomes of our graduates”.
