Description
-
The west side of Áras de Brún, University of Galway. Named after the then recently retired President of the University, Monsignor Pádraig de Brún (1889-1960), designed by Michael Scott and opened on 18 May 1963, Áras de Brún was the first building erected on campus since the Old Arts Building in 1932. It provided badly needed lecture halls and offices for a variety of disciplines and services over the years, including Mathematical Sciences, Natural Sciences, Ancient Classics, History, English and Student Services. In later years it was also labelled as Block C in the campus zonal identification system.
