In 2011 the CEU started a selection process for an architectural team to redevelop their existing campus on the Pest side of the Hungarian capital. In total 79 local and international architectural practices applied for the design works which was won in the second phase by the Irish architects O’Donnell + Tuomey (ODT). Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey both studied architecture at the University College Dublin and have worked together as O’Donnell + Tuomey for 30 years. They were the 2015 recipients of the RIBA Royal Gold Medal. To realise the project in Budapest, ODT worked together with the Hungarian firm Teampannon who was represented by Maté Hidasnémeti as the project architect.
