The Center for Creative Design and the adjacent entry plaza with reflecting pool mark the New Campus Arrival experience. The Centre for Creative Design is designed around five concepts:
Place inspired by the geometries of the Giant’s Causeway and the work of James Joyce.
Space for experience instead of an object.
Gateway presence on the horizon, R138 and up close.
Natural Light and generous proportions to all interior spaces.
Circuit of Social Connection linking everyone in a free and open way for creative collaboration at the heart and soul of the building.
