Tuesday, July 13, 2010 : New Film School at IADT Commences Work

Construction of a new film school for the Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Dun Laoghaire will begin later this month.

This new facility will accommodate 385 students, with courses in film, television and radio brought together in one building.

The building will house dedicated specialist TV studio spaces, radio studios, teaching accommodation, along with ancillary plant, workshop and storage spaces on IADT’s campus in Dun Laoghaire.

The new building will also facilitate the students from the areas of broadcasting and media. The state of the Art HD studio will be able to be used for single camera film shoots as well as multi-camera television work.

The new film school will have a dedicated industry-standard television and film studio while the existing studio can then be refurbished for use as a bluescreen and digital “black box” facility and media-related disciplines in modern state-of-the-art facilities.
