The Graduates Memorial Building (GMB) is a neo-Gothic Victorian building, in Trinity College Dublin designed by Sir Thomas Drew in 1897. It is home to Trinity College's oldest student societies: the University Philosophical Society (the Phil), the College Historical Society (the Hist) and the College Theological Society (the Theo). ==Construction and Design== The Graduates Memorial Building, originally named the ''Graduates' Tercentenary Memorial Building'', was constructed to celebrate three hundred years of Trinity College, Dublin's existence. In May 1897, tenders were invited by Trinity College, Dublin to design a replacement for the residential buildings known as Rotten Row. These buildings were almost architecturally indistinguishable from The Rubrics, which stood from circa 1700. Designs were submitted by Robert John Stirling, Thomas Newenham Deane and Sir Thomas Drew, with Drew's being selected. The design of the building is such that it is divided into three houses: House 28, and House 30, as student residences, with House 29 in the centre of the building, being used by the societies. In 1899 Rotten Row was demolished〔 and work began on the new building. Its construction was largely financed by subscriptions from graduates, and was opened on 31 May 1902. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Graduates Memorial Building」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
