“These are essential repair and maintenance conservation works to the Campanile tower, including masonry repairs, repair to ironwork elements, repair to the historic entrance door and minor maintenance alterations.” One incoming student, Avery Grace , who is starting her degree in Sociology and History of Art and Architecture, recalls her experience of entering the college’s Front Gate for the first time, “When we visited, I remember walking in and the Campanile is the first thing you see.”Caroline Loughlin, a Modern Languages student set to graduate in October, expressed her disappointment at the maintenance coinciding with a majority of graduation ceremonies for Trinity’s class of 2024.

When asked how he feels about the college’s central landmark being covered, Ramon Penichet , a tourist from Mexico visiting Ireland for the first time, said “I think the maintenance of things has to be done.” Many students traditionally take part in walking underneath the Campanile on their graduation day, finally free from the superstition that if you do so as the bell rings then you are doomed to fail all your exams. The Campanile’s base will remain inaccessible for the duration of the project as the Library Square pathway has been closed to pedestrians.
