Visiting the Senior Common Room at Trinity College Dublin was a wonderful experience. The historic interior is full of character, with beautiful chandeliers, green leather sofas, portraits and elegant red carpets that create the atmosphere of a traditional university club.
The building has a fascinating history, including structural problems in the 18th century and a serious fire in 1984, followed by an award-winning restoration. One of the most surprising features is the replica of Vienna’s famous American Bar, designed by architect Adolf Loos.
It was a real privilege to see this special space and discover another hidden side of Trinity College beyond its famous library and historic campus.
