UCD Future Campus

Future Campus
The masterplan reimagines UCD as an ecological campus, a campus community engaged with its context and in dialogue with the wider world. Our vision is for the urbanisation of Belfield as a
natural extension of its inherited landscape. A transformative plan connects the campus core to the main entrance, Arts Block to R138 in a 5‐minute walk, by an urban sequence of landscaped
terraces. The radically restructured Stillorgan Road bridge becomes a symbol of welcome to UCD. The beautiful walled garden is reinstated. A new density rises out of the established
ground.
A Beacon for Belfield
The Centre for Creative Design is an asymmetrically balanced design, a floating structure of glass and concrete. In the daytime, it is translucent. At night, it is a lantern. The facade is an energy‐efficient etched‐glass envelope. Studio life is on show. Roof gardens provide social space. A new civic realm is created at the entrance to the university.
