The new National Film School building was officially opened by the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins in November 2013. Our facilities are now the best in Ireland, including the first HD TV studio in any academic institution and only the second, after TV3, in Ireland. This state-of-the-art building has two new TV / film studios with HD capability. There is a digital effects / green screen / news TV studio along with two new radio studios. In addition, there are control rooms, a scene dock, lecture rooms, a newsroom, and office accommodation. The NFS building has been designed to also allow two outside broadcast units to operate and link into the production facilities and the studios.
