Tour Information +
Based in the former Smurfit Kappa Ireland Printworks in Glasnevin, the 31,000 square-foot building has been dramatically transformed into a transport and mobility training centre to empower people with a disability to use transport confidently and independently. It also serves as a space for training professionals such as transport operators, architects, designers, engineers and students responsible for future transport systems and designing the built environment.
A 100 year old building with a beautiful heritage facade, the Wayfinding Centre boasts a Luas carriage, a DART carriage, a double decker bus, Expressway coach, accessible taxi and a section of an Airbus 319. All surrounded by a streetscape, rough terrain, traffic lights, acoustics and an innovation space.
Join us for a tour, learn about the history of the building and how we are working towards unlocking mobility for all. We will meet at the front entrance and undertake a journey through the immersive learning space.
