Microsoft opens Dream Space learning hub at Grange Castle data-centre campus
Microsoft opened a €1 million Dream Space hub at its Grange Castle data-centre campus in Ireland on 16 October. More than 5,000 students from schools in Dublin and Kildare are expected to attend sessions there over the next 12 months.
Event / data period: 2026-10-16
Published: · Updated:
The centre will offer STEM and AI activities for primary and post-primary pupils. Its programme includes skills linked to digital infrastructure, such as electrical engineering, physical computing and cloud operations.
Microsoft says the hub was developed using €1 million from a €4 million Irish skills fund it set aside in March 2025. The participation figure is a forward-looking expectation, not a count of students already served.
