The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland’s state of the art new academic and education building will open in autumn 2017. The College has invested approximately €80 million in the development of this modern, practical and sophisticated facility which, once completed, will be used to educate future healthcare leaders. The 120,000 square foot development, spanning 10 floors, will comprise a library; a world-class surgical and clinical training suite; a 540 seat auditorium; a sports hall and fitness suite, and has been designed to be energy efficient and environmentally responsible.
In advance of the official opening of the building with the start of the 2017/2018 academic year the RCSI Library team wishes to invite library colleagues to take a tour of the new library spaces in No. 26 York Street. The library spans three floors and is integrated into the state of the art clinical and surgical education building.
