AIA Institute Honor Awards for Regional and Urban Design 2012

The hardscape and softscape areas of the Grangegorman urban quarter consist of the following character areas:
St. Brendan’s Way, Student Hub, Library Terrace, Library Square, Grangegorman Road, Serpentine Walk, Cultural Garden, Ivy Avenue, the Fields, Green Fingers, the Circulation
Corridors and the East Quadrangles. Interwoven in these areas are an array of street furniture, drainage elements and play areas. Combined altogether with a well thought-out hierarchy of paving materials as well as a rich and abundant planting concept, a series of unique and interwoven public spaces are formed with a distinct sense of place for the entire Grangegorman site.
