After years of disruptions, Trinity Business School was officially opened in May. At the launch, which also featured a speech from Andrew Burke, the Dean of the Business School, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said the new school was “representative of the comeback story of Irish universities”.

Echoing the Taoiseach’s speech, Provost Patrick Prendergast praised the school’s impact at the launch, saying that it was “transformational not just for Trinity but for Dublin and Ireland”.

The Business School will contain a two floors dedicated to executive education as well as a 300-seat restaurant and a 600-seat lecture theatre.

The Business School will also house five societies – Dublin University Business and Economics Society (DUBES), Trinity Entrepreneurial Society (TES), Enactus, Trinity Student Managed Fund (SMF), and Trinity TEDx – as well as Tangent, the “ideas workspace” of Trinity, which aims to train students in entrepreneurship and innovation.
