Crawford could leave city centre for main CIT campus

THE fate of Cork’s Crawford College of Art and Design (CCAD) remains unclear as college chiefs await details of plans for building funds for the college from the Department of Education.

Despite poor conditions and health and safety concerns at the college’s city centre building, students and staff have voiced anger at suggestions that the college might be forced to move from Sharman Crawford Street to the main Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) campus in Bishopstown.

The college is one of a number of CIT building projects approved for funding by Education Minister Mary Hanafin last month.
