The much-anticipated state-of-the-art Multi-purpose MTU Arena has opened on MTU’s Bishopstown Campus. This €13 million development, the first of several new buildings which will be built at the University, will provide a much-needed facility for the MTU community.

The Arena includes a 1,340m2 hall, two studios, a café and a 600 m2 gym. Ultimately, the Arena will be open 7 days per week and membership of the gym will be open to students, staff and members of the public.

The Arena is multi-purpose and, in addition to catering for sports, societies and other University activities (conferring ceremonies, careers fairs, examinations), the venue will also be available for hire by external groups, including local community groups, for concerts, exhibitions and other events. The main hall of the Arena can accommodate 1,200 people seated.

MTU Students, MTU Staff and External members can book classes by using the MTU Arena App.
