Dogpatch Labs, an 1820s warehouse in Dublin's docklands

Dogpatch Labs is a start-up hub located in a huge 200-year-old warehouse called the CHQ Building in Dublin’s docklands. (CHQ refers to nearby Customs House Quay.) Dogpatch Labs share the building, which measures 155 by 55 metres (508 by 180 feet) with a museum called EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum and several retail outlets.
