College business
& technology park was developed in conjunction with
the new Blanchardstown Institute of Technology. The main
scheme envisages the development of approx. 350 acres for
an Institute of Technology and a business park. The park
will be of mixed use and will provide opportunities for
the development of synergies between the business campus
and the IT facility.
The brief for the project called for an informal campus
style of entrance, and the setting in place of a landscape
structure for the park. The use of large gates and walls
was avoided in order to foster the idea of an open parkland
campus which was accessible to all.
The detailed design and development of the entrance area,
roadways and services was worked on in conjunction with
the project engineers. Phase 1 of the works were completed
in 2001 with the remainder of the scheme continuing on an
ongoing basis. In addition, the landscape standards set
down in the masterplan will be continued throughout the
site by careful evaluation of proposed schemes for the park.
Subsequent to the initial stages of development, the Institute
of Technology has recently completed the first phase of
building works on the campus site.
