The Belfield Campus is one of the finest university facilities in Ireland’s higher education sector. University College Dublin (UCD) is committed to providing a pedestrian-friendly campus where students, staff, neighbours, friends and visitors will have a pleasant and memorable encounter with a top-quality modern university campus in a flourishing city and county.
Working with UCD and Murray O’Laoire Architects, the Campus Development Plan, which was approved in December 2005, aims to consolidate and enhance this position by providing future generations with a sustainable, healthy, and living campus.
The Plan promotes a coherent land use strategy, based on sustainable principles, which will accommodate the organic and inorganic growth necessary for UCD to respond to the challenges that it faces.
Building on and further developing the quality of the environment is a prerequisite to enhancing the Campus for all its users. The Plan includes a number of key principles that will significantly improve the quality of the Campus and its contribution to the wider community.
