From concept to exhibition 🎓📖

On Monday 2 November, students from the MA and BA Tourism Studies at TU Dublin / OT Baile Átha Cliath heard from Dara Lynne Lenehen, Founder and CEO of EPIC Design , about the process of designing the new Beyond the Walls exhibition.

Using Beyond the Walls as a real-world case study, the talk explored how research, storytelling, design and curation come together, taking students through the journey from initial concept to completed exhibition. The session also offered a fascinating insight into the collaborative work that happens behind the scenes and the important role interpretation plays in making history meaningful and accessible.

Collaborations like this are an important way of working with our stakeholders, sharing knowledge and experiences, and building on the value of the Grangegorman Histories programme through education and outreach. By engaging with students and future practitioners, the stories and research behind Beyond the Walls can continue to reach new audiences and inspire new perspectives.

20 Years of Development: Grangegorman in Aerials Exhibition 📸

One of the highlights of this year's Open House Dublin events was the opportunity to step back and see Grangegorman from a completely different perspective. Hosted in the beautiful former Church of Ireland building, this popular exhibition showcased two decades of transformation through a series of striking aerial images.

From a historic institutional site to the vibrant, inclusive and connected community destination it is today, visitors were able to trace the remarkable evolution of Grangegorman and explore the scale of change that has taken place over the last 20 years.

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Clock Tower Tours 📸

One of the standout highlights of Open House Dublin 2026 at Grangegorman, the Clock Tower Tours sold out almost immediately and quickly became one of the most talked-about elements of the day.

Offering rare access to one of Grangegorman's most fascinating and lesser-known landmarks, the tours gave visitors a unique opportunity to experience a hidden part of the site while learning more about its rich history and heritage.

Led by GDA Project Coordinator Ed Scanlon, visitors were guided through the Clock Tower with a blend of knowledge, enthusiasm and humour, bringing its stories to life and creating a memorable experience for all who attended.

We're delighted to share some behind-the-scenes moments from these special tours.

🌳 Tree Management Works Today | 27 October 2026 🌳

We're carrying out tree management works today along the pathway behind the all-weather pitches at Grangegorman as part of the ongoing care of our green spaces and the objectives of the Grangegorman Biodiversity Plan.

⚠️ Please avoid the area where possible and take extra care near the work zone due to increased construction vehicle activity. Follow all onsite signage and instructions.

As part of these works:

🌳 One mature chestnut tree is being carefully removed due to poor health. A replacement tree will be planted in a suitable location on campus.

🌳 A second chestnut tree is undergoing crown reduction works to help balance its canopy, improve stability in strong winds and support its long-term health.

These important works will help maintain a safe, healthy and sustainable campus environment while supporting the long-term health of Grangegorman's trees.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation while the works are carried out safely.

Listen back to Grangegorman Histories Coordinator Katherine Martin on Phoenix FM, discussing the work of the Grangegorman Histories programme and the wonderful new exhibition 'Beyond the Walls' that's hosted in the TU Dublin / OT Baile Átha Cliath's new Academic Hub and Library.

The exhibition explores 250 years of Grangegorman’s complex history, from workhouse, asylum and prison to the open, vibrant health and education campus of today.
