Campus
The institute is located on Kill Avenue, about two kilometres west of Dún Laoghaire, close to Bakers Corner and Deansgrange. It is served by several bus routes. The former Dún Laoghaire College of Art and Design (now part of the Faculty of Film, Art and Creative Technologies at IADT) moved to the campus in the early 1980s. This move facilitated an expansion of facilities and led to the creation of IADT in 1997. The college had strong ties with artist Diarmuid Larkin and his sons Seán and Derek who later worked there.{{cite book |last=Ryan |first=Vera |date=2006 |title=Movers & Shapers 2 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xqNPAAAAMAAJ |location=Google Books |publisher=Collins |page=296 |isbn=9781905172030}}
The college has developed amenities such as the Media Cube for enterprise projects and SMEs in the technology sector and is expanding its campus to incorporate further departments and students. Sports facilities such as a full sized all weather floodlight soccer pitch have been added in recent years.
=Campus history=
The institute's site was a Christian Brothers home, Carriglea Park Industrial School, from 1894 to 1954.
Prior to being bought by the Christian Brothers, Carriglea was a {{convert|40|acre|m2|adj=on}} Georgian residence owned by the Goff Family.{{fact|date=August 2024}} The Reverend Robert Goff purchased the estate in 1826 for use as his principal residence. The Reverend Goff died in 1844 and the estate passed to his wife and family. Both the Reverend Robert Goff and his wife are interred in the church in Monkstown. IADT has a collection of diaries written by the Reverend Goff from the late 18th Century until his death.
