Sir Thomas Drew created the Graduates Memorial Building, a neo-Victorian structure at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, in 1897. The University Philosophical Society i.e. The Phil, the College Historical Society, and the College Theological Society are some of oldest student organisations of Trinity College. To mark the three hundred years of establishment of the Trinity College Dublin, the Graduates Memorial Building, also known as the Graduates Tercentenary Memorial Building, was built [Citation Needed]. Trinity College Dublin issued a call for proposals in May 1897 for the design of an alternative for the residences of Rotten Row neighborhood. Architecturally, these structures were nearly identical to The Rubrics, which existed from around 1700. The design of Sir Thomas Drew was chosen from among those submitted by Robert John Stirling, Thomas Newenham Deane, and others [Citation Needed]. The building is separated into three houses as a result of its design: Houses 28 and 30, which serve as student apartments, and House 29, which is located in the middle of the structure and is utilised by the societies [Citation Needed]. Rotten Row was razed and construction on the replacement structure started in 1899. It was inaugurated on May 31st, 1902, and its development was partly funded by contributions from alumni [Citation Needed]. The enormous interior of the structure is mostly used for scientific research, debate, and by the three groups that use it. Its four storeys are home to a variety of rooms. A sizable wooden staircase that ascends vertically from the first level to the second story is located in the main entryway. The Debating Chamber, with its two-story high ceiling, carved balcony, and Ionic pillars, is located on the ground level and is commonly utilised by The Phil and The Hist. A bronze relief of George Ferdinand Shaw, a former Phil librarian and senior fellow, is mounted on the west side of the room. The conversation room of the University Philosophical Society, which is situated on the ground level, offers its members a place to gather, chat, and unwind. The paper reading sub-group of the society, The Bram Stoker Club, meets in its chat room [Information Credit : Graduates_Memorial_Building, Wikipedia; Wikipedia-Link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduates_Memorial_Building ] [Image: The Graduates Memorial Building in Trinity College Dublin ; Image-Credit : Hamit Ferhat Hazar , Pexels; (Please Relate to Source Image-URL for More Image Usage Property and License) Image-Source-Link : https://www.pexels.com/photo/the-graduates-memorial-building-in-trinity-college-dublin-14882267/ ] #Architecture
