Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) is Ireland’s first technological university, established on 1 January 2019 and with a history stretching back to 1887 through the amalgamated Dublin Institute of Technology.
The university was formed by the amalgamation of three existing institutes of technology in the Dublin area – Dublin Institute of Technology, Institute of Technology, Blanchardstown, and Institute of Technology, Tallaght, taking over all functions and operations of these institutions. The university asserts an entrepreneurial ethos and industry-focused approach, with extensive collaboration with industry for research and teaching. TU Dublin’s new flagship campus is located in Grangegorman, Dublin. TU Dublin is now the second-largest third-level institution in Ireland, with a student population of 28,500.
As part of the centralisation of the previous institutes onto the one campus, TU Dublin has been expanding its new site at Grangegorman. In 2017, TU Dublin purchased Park House, a 10,500 square metre and 7-storey building on the edge of the campus with plans to occupy the upper ground, first and second floor with a new dedicated library facility and other services for college students.
