Directions
NIVAL is located on the NCAD Campus, through the Arch on Thomas Street in Dublin 8. We are located next to Engine House No. 5 in the Clock Building, which was a part of the Old Powers Distillery.
The engine room was one of the beating hearts of the distillery, an engineering marvel of its time. The Clock Building takes its name from the double-faced clock set in granite in the wall at the Red Square entrance to the building, which is visible day and night from inside and outside.
Access
The premises are fully wheelchair accessible. Please contact us if you have any specific access requirements.
