UCC to create student hub in €15m extension

Work begins today on a €15m one-stop shop for most student services in an extension to one of University College Cork’s oldest buildings.

The six-storey student hub will put facilities for the students union, clubs and societies officers, the Campus Radio station, and other student-led activities in one location on the campus for the first time.

Other services, including those supporting students with disabilities and mature students, will also be relocated. In addition, modern teaching facilities will allow students from different disciplines across UCC schools and departments to work together in new technology- enriched spaces.
