UCD Estates is pleased to announce the opening of a new gym facility at the Smurfit Blackrock Campus, expanding UCD’s network of student-accessible gyms to five locations across the university. This addition is an integral part of UCD’s ongoing commitment to creating a Healthy Campus, dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of the student community.
The Smurfit Gym is designed to serve the 1,400 registered students of the Smurfit School, including over 250 residential students. The availability of a local gym addresses logistical challenges associated with travel to Belfield and provides convenient, accessible fitness resources 7 days a week. In addition to offering fitness equipment, the new gym is intended to foster a supportive community atmosphere.
Located adjacent to the Smurfit Restaurant, this facility provides students with a welcoming environment for physical activity, relaxation, and peer connection.
