Science and Engineering at TU Dublin Begin a New Chapter in Grangegorman
For over 130 years, Kevin Street was synonymous with technological education in Ireland, however, TU Dublin has now closed the gates of Kevin Street for a final time as staff and students relocate to fabulous new facilities in the Central Quad on our Grangegorman campus.
Arnold Felix Graves, the father of technical education in 19th century Ireland, founded the first Technical School in Kevin Street with financial support provided by Dublin Corporation. The School opened in October 1887 with 220 students commencing classes. From the very beginning, Kevin Street offered education and training at the leading edge of technology, a tradition that was maintained over many generations and which TU Dublin will continue in the Central Quad.
