The Headquarters of DIAS moved to 10 Burlington Rd in 1971. Since then it has housed the School of Theoretical Physics and the Admin sections of the Institute, with the School of Celtic Studies in the adjoining nineteenth century building. No. 10 is considered an outstanding example of early 1970's architecture, designed by Sam Stephenson and is now a protected structure.

In May 1946 Celtica, the peer-reviewed journal of the DIAS School of Celtic Studies made its first appearance. The first volume of the journal marked the launch of a dedicated outlet for high-level research in Celtic studies, covering linguistics, literature, manuscript studies, history, law, dialect studies and onomastics. The journal examines all of the Celtic languages and periods from the earliest inscriptions to the spoken languages of the present day. Celtica has been a flagship for Celtic Scholarship from the outset.
