Proposed campus a big boost for city and region

THE decision by Cork city manager Joe Gavin to make a city centre site available at a nominal charge for the development of a centre for architecture and design is a key investment in the future of third-level education in the city and region.

It gives a civic impetus to the collaborative vision of CIT and UCC to create in Cork a national centre for architecture, design, art and media.

This year a new course in architecture at undergraduate and postgraduate level commenced in Cork.
