Adaptive Reuse Rathdown House Video

In preparation for the first DIT (now TU Dublin) 1,000 students arriving to the Grangegorman site in September, the Adaptive Reuse projects got underway in December 2013. Six of the seven adaptive reuse buildings are classed as protected structures. We’ve come a long way since then and this short video shows the before and after images of one of these protected buildings; Rathdown House.
