Campus
Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT) is currently located on a greenfield site on Kill Avenue, about a mile and a half west of Dun Laoghaire on the 75 / 46A bus route, in close proximity to Bakers Corner and Deans Grange. IADT moved to the campus in 1997 after several years of planning. This move facilitated an expansion of facilities to a current student capacity of over 3,000.
The colleges site is formally a Christian Brothers home (Carriglea Park Industrial School, 1894–1954). Previous to being bought by the Christian Brothers, Carriglea was a 40 acre Georgian residence, whose owners, are unknown, except on census records. In the 2009 Report on child abuse, the Christian Brothers were found to be seen in a relatively favourable, if incompetent, light in comparison to abuses in other industrial schools, and still play a key part in the Dun Laoghaire area, albeit entirely separate to the Dun Laoghaire campus.
In recent times the college has developed new amenities such as the Media Cube for enterprise projects and SME's in the technology sector and is currently expanding it's campus to incorporate further departments and students.
