IADT is delighted to take part in Open House Dublin 2025 on October 17 & 18 welcoming visitors to explore two of our most distinctive spaces: the Digital Media Building and the Carnegie Library in Dún Laoghaire.
Elliott Ballam, Architect Associate Director at BDP, will guide visitors on an insightful tour of the Digital Media Building, the newest building on the IADT campus. Visitors will have the chance to discover how the building was designed to allow students and staff to push the boundaries of media, technology and storytelling.
In contrast, enjoy a guided tour of the Carnegie Library and it beautifully restored architectural features. The tour, led by Gerard Bourke, Senior Architect DLR, will also include background history about Andrew Carnegie and the evolution of libraries in Dún Laoghaire.
Through guided tours and special events, Open House at IADT will showcase the unique character of our campus – from cutting-edge digital environments to treasured heritage spaces – and highlight the dynamic intersection of past, present and future at the heart of our learning community.
