Stage 1 of the masterplan promises to elevate the campus arrival feel, shape a welcoming new quad and create an inspiring new Entry Precinct for UCD, making new connections extending its transformative open up nature into the existing campus.

The Phase ane project comprises iii key integrated elements:

The Centre for Creativity: An architectural competition winning design for 12,650sq.m accommodation, which will include academic accommodation for studios, workshops, maker spaces, review and brandish spaces.  Information technology will also include accommodation for faculty and ancillary accommodation for bookish programmes.  In addition, the building will besides perform an important outreach and public appointment function, demanded both by the function, the location and the strong architecture of the Centre for Creativity.

The Heart for Hereafter Learning: comprising xi,580sq.m of loftier-quality active didactics and learning infrastructure, the blueprint is based on international practices on academic spaces. The Middle of Future Learning will exist a hub for agile learning in the precinct and near the eye of the campus, enabling piece of cake access to the full academic community.  The adaptation will include a variety of formal learning spaces (classrooms and lecture space) forth with informal learning spaces.  As the largest education and learning hub it will exist supported to ensure that the edifice utilisation is optimised, and service quality is appropriate to the desired student and faculty feel.

Landscaping: Fulfilling the objectives of the UCD Strategic Campus Evolution Plan, the University has continued to invest in the quality of the campus and landscape as information technology develops the buildings on campus.  For Phase ane, significant tree planting and landscaping improvements volition exist delivered. 978 specimen trees along with over 9,100 young trees will exist planted as part of the project. The existing woodland walk betwixt Belfield Woods and the R138 entrance will be widened and a new connecting tree line planted, providing a wild animals corridor and an enhanced amenity.  As these new and replacement trees abound and mature, they volition strengthen and densify the existing campus woodlands.

Additionally, two major assiduities spaces will be delivered:

• The Arrival Plaza: providing a much-needed pedestrian link from the front entrance to the core of the campus.  This entrance plaza combined with the architecture of the Future Campus volition profoundly improve wayfinding on the Belfield Campus.

• The Ardmore Quad: A loftier quality infinite and landscaped expanse, framed by the Centre for Creativity, the Center for Future Learning and Ardmore Business firm. It is intended that this quad space will provide outdoor amenity spaces, enhancing the setting for Ardmore House and retaining and improving the setting of some high-quality mature trees on campus.
