Fueling Future Healthcare Leaders July 17th, 2017

RCSI's state-of-the-art new academic and education building, located at 26 York Street, Dublin 2 will open in autumn 2017, in time for the new academic year.

The College has invested approximately €80 million in the development of this modern, practical and sophisticated facility which, once completed, will be used to educate our future healthcare leaders.

And to fuel these future healthcare leaders, RCSI decided to install healthy vending machines, supplied by The Healthy Fox, that are packed with low-sugar, low-fat, healthier snacks and drinks. Well, when you are shaping the future of healthcare, it makes sense to include the future of vending. Now ‘convenience’ does not have to mean ‘unhealthy’; everyone should have access to healthier food choices.

The new 120,000 square foot development is very impressive, spanning 10 floors, including a world-class surgical and clinical training suite containing a flexible wet lab, mock operating theatre, clinical training wards, standardised patients rooms and task training rooms.

It will also include a 540 seat auditorium, a library spanning three floors with 500 study spaces, and a ultra-modern sports hall and fitness suite. The entire building has been designed to be both energy efficient and environmentally responsible and we are delighted to add our healthy vending to it.
