Steven Holl designed this Centre for Creativity for University College Dublin (UCD) It includes studios, lecture halls, exhibition space, forum space, a foyer, a café, and an observation center. This building was designed around five different concepts: Place, Space, Gateway, Natural light, and Circuit of social connection.

The Centre for Creative Design and the entry plaza with its reflecting pool represent the New Campus arrival experience for UCD students. Its inspired by the geometries of the Giant’s Causeway and the work of James Joyce. It was designed as a space to link everyone in a free and open way for creative collaboration.
