Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2001 / November 25 2001: Trinity College in skyscraper hotel row

Trinity College Dublin - one of the world's oldest universities - stands accused of endangering the Elizabethan splendour of its own campus by building Ireland's tallest skyscraper. Trinity, home to the famous Celtic Book of Kells, plans to knock down Goldsmith Hall, award-winning student accommodation, to make way for a multi-storey 200-bedroom hotel. Students, academics and senators who represent the college have united to oppose the project, which has been forwarded to Bord Pleanala and Dublin Corporation.
