In the heart of Dublin 8, Presentation Secondary School Warrenmount has long been a cornerstone of its community, providing education and support to generations of students since the late 19th century. As a DEIS school, it serves young people in an area where access to opportunity can often be limited, but where ambition and potential are abundant.
Recognising both the challenges and the possibilities within schools like Warrenmount, The Liffey Trust set out with a clear mission: to help bridge the gap in STEM education and ensure that students, regardless of background, have access to the tools they need to succeed in a modern, digital world.
Working closely with the school, and funding from The Liffey Trust architects were engaged to design a multi-purpose technology hub, an innovative learning space that would transform how students engage with education. The vision was ambitious: a dynamic hub capable of delivering programmes in robotics, coding, digital literacy, and creative design, including animation, film, and music.
Presentation Secondary School already had a strong foundation in digital learning, with existing partnerships and initiatives supporting ICT integration across the curriculum. The new tech hub builds on this momentum, providing students with access to modern equipment, creative tools, and collaborative spaces that mirror real-world working environments.
This was not just about upgrading facilities, it was about reimagining what learning could look like.
The Liffey Trust remains committed to working in partnership with schools, communities, and supporters to continue this work. The success of Warrenmount’s tech hub is not just a milestone it’s a model for what can be achieved in other DEIS schools across the city.
