English: The alliance of Dublin Institute of Technology, Institute of Technology Blanchardstown and Institute of Technology Tallaght is set to become the first Technological University (TU Dublin) in Ireland.

The University will be located on three campuses at Grangegorman, Blanchardstown and Tallaght creating an inclusive and open learning experience offering pathways to graduation from apprenticeship to PhD level to a diverse range of students.

DIT campuses in Kevin Street, Cathal Brugha Street and Rathmines will move to Grangegorman in 2020, while the Aungier Street campus will relocate in 2021. The Bolton Street relocation will take place at a later stage.

The development of the Grangegorman Campus has accelerated with construction underway on two major PPP projects that will accommodate 10,000 students by September 2020. The students will include those currently studying in DIT buildings in Kevin Street, Rathmines and Cathal Brugha Street.

My understanding is that when Grangegorman is fully operational there will be about 20,000 students and this is going to have a huge impact [could be a combination of positive and negative or either] on me as I live at the edge of the campus. There are already a number of student complexes under construction close to my apartment. Also the property beside my apartment is due to be redeveloped as student accommodation.
