Campus at Marymount

The former St Patrick’s Marymount Hospice on Wellington Road in Cork looks set to be taken over by Griffith College.

A NEW education campus is set to bring up to 1,000 students to Cork’s north side, as rapidly-growing Griffith College finalises a deal worth c €2m on the former St Patrick’s Marymount Hospice.

The privately-owned third level college with over 8,000 students nationally and currently with 600 in Cork is in the final stage of negotiations on the 70,000 sq ft complex of buildings on five acres at St Luke’s Cross/Wellington Road, which went up for sale two years ago.
