Bridge21 is delighted to announce the opening of a new flexible learning space here in Oriel House. In December 2014, the Provost, Patrick Prendergast, officially opened the new space (and cut the ceremonial ribbon). The Provost has been a great supporter of Bridge21 over the years and we are delighted he was able to help us launch this exciting new space.

“Bridge22″ is equipped with tables, chairs and storage units built by VS furniture in Germany. There are also several laptop computers and large movable monitors which will allow students and teachers to create, learn and present in several different ways. The movable screen idea was first suggested to us byDigicom and, in fact, they donated to first screen and stand to Bridge21. We are hugely grateful to both VS furniture and Digicom for their support in creating this new learning space.

"Last week at a special event at Bridge 21 at Trinity College in Dublin, Puttnam urged Ireland to consider an awards scheme like the National Teaching Awards to publicly acknowledge good teaching practices and achievements. He also said the media in Ireland should be more supportive of the need to reinvigorate Ireland's education system and push for the deployment of 21st-century technology and learning practices in schools."
