Convention Centre

The Dublin Conference Centre (Irish: Ionad Comhdhála, Baile tha Cliath) is a convention center in Dublin, Ireland. Spencer Dock, where the convention center is located, has a view of the River Liffey. Kevin Roche, an Irish-born American architect, designed it. Construction began in 1998, and the building was completed in 2010. It served as a temporary venue for Dáil Éireann beginning in June 2020 owing to the need to impose social separation due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

The glass exterior and multiple curving walls make the building famous for a variety of architectural features. The structure can accommodate up to 8,000 people in 22 conference rooms, including a 2,000-seat auditorium and a 4,500-square-metre exhibition and banqueting area. It is the world's first carbon-neutral convention center due to the use of low-carbon cement and the purchase of carbon credits in compliance with the Voluntary Carbon Standard to offset unavoidable carbon emissions. It also has a thermal-wheel heat-recovery system and an ice-storage thermal unit to offer building air conditioning.

The Convention Centre in Dublin, in sharp contrast to many of the other buildings on this list, serves as a sleek, contemporary counterpoint to the area's old, antiquated architecture. Even if you only pass by, you'll be impressed by the flawless edifices on its façade. The Dublin Convention Centre, which is frequently lighted when the sun goes down, hosts a regularly rotating series of conferences, conventions, and general and specialized events. The center is situated to many of Dublin's top hotel stays and is listed as one of the Dublin places you can't afford to miss.
