Dublin firm wins U2 recording studio contest

The Irish Times

U2 is to get a new recording studio in a 60-metre landmark tower as part of a radical redevelopment of Dublin's docklands. The building, which will be similar in height to Liberty Hall, will be located on Britain Quay, where the River Dodder joins the Liffey. It is expected to be completed within three years. The top two floors will be dedicated to a new recording studio for U2, just around the corner from their old premises on Hanover Quay, which the band was unable to save despite a planning battle more than a year ago.
