Music school nearly completed

THE €70 million reconstruction of the Cork School of Music is ahead of schedule and the building is likely to be handed over to the Department of Education in mid-July.

Hochtief PPP Solutions, the company involved in the Public Private Partnership, confirmed yesterday that the redevelopment work will be finished well ahead of the scheduled date in September.

Hochtief PPP Solutions project director, Peter O’Shea, said the main structure of the Union Quay building is completed and the fitting out of rooms continues apace.
