Trinity to build new arts research building

Trinity College is getting a new building for its arts and humanities research institute.

Construction of the new home for the Trinity Long Room Hub is already underway and is expected to be open next April.

The four-storey, granite-clad building is being built between the 1937 Reading Room and the Arts Building, facing on to Fellows Square.

It will include a state-of-the-art, 90-seat lecture theatre and will frequently be open to the public.
