27 May 2026 8.30am – 11am Community Dublin, Ireland

Overview

Join the IWFM Ireland Region for an exclusive morning of networking and insight at one of the most iconic additions to Dublin’s cityscape: the Central Bank of Ireland’s Dockland Campus.

As the workplace continues to evolve, this event offers a deep dive into how a landmark public institution has balanced high-performance design with a human-centric approach to facilities management.

Over breakfast, we will explore the 9 Design Principles that transformed a disused concrete frame into a world-class civic emblem.

What we’ll cover

  • WorkChoice & the future of working: Discover the impact of the Bank’s "WorkChoice" model. Learn how the design of the North Wall Quay campus facilitates a hybrid, flexible culture that prioritises collaboration and employee autonomy.
  • Leading the Eurosystem: Gain insights into how the North Wall Quay campus has set a new benchmark for National Central Banks across Europe, blending security with transparency.
  • Sustainability at scale: Hear how the building achieved its BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and BER A2 ratings - becoming the first office in Ireland to reach these standards - and how its signature triangular mesh façade manages solar heat gain.
  • The Campus by the numbers: We’ll share key stats on the 27,000m2 campus, from its 250+ collaboration spaces to its innovative "mixed-mode" ventilation system.
