| Description |

| Trinity College
describes the Arts Block as, "
A nineteen seventies listed architectural
masterpiece." Constructed between 1968
and 1979, it was designed by ABK architects
who 22 years later designed a new top floor
for the building. Archiseeks website
is of the view that, "This has been less than
successful on the Fellows Square
elevation, where the building stepped back
at each level – the new floor continues
upwards from the previous top floor. On
the Nassau Street elevation, the extension
works better as the new floor provides a
pavilion storey for the building. The
horizontality of the new roof and overhang
contrasts strongly with the vertical
emphasis of this elevation." Inside the building accommodates, "lecture theatres, seminar rooms, libraries, an art gallery as well as administration and social facilities." |
