The RCSI Dental Hospital Simulation Centre transforms Reservoir House into a modern clinical teaching facility.

Designed for dental student training, it integrates simulation suites, a supervised clinic, and hospital-standard infrastructure. New interventions include an upgraded entrance, sustainable transport amenities, and green roofs - reflecting RCSI’s commitment to healthcare education in Sandyford.

Works included full internal reconfiguration and external enhancements to support its continued educational use, now focused on dental training. A key element is the inclusion of an ancillary dental clinic, enabling practical work and patient care by students under supervision.

Designed to replicate the complexities of modern dental practice, the facility combines Simulated Dental Learning Environments with supervised patient interaction in a dedicated on-site clinic. This hands-on experience, grounded in professional collaboration and real patient care, equips students with clinical confidence, teamwork skills, and decision-making ability essential to delivering high-quality dental treatment in diverse healthcare settings.
