UCC plans world-class business school at Lapps Quay bank building

A bank building being bought by UCC in Cork city centre for €1.42m is set to house a UCC equivalent of UCD’s Smurfit School of Business in Dublin.

Cork City Council next week looks set to approve the sale of the historic Cork Saving Bank building at 1 Lapps Quay for over €1.4m after a sale conducted by Lisney, who sold it to City Council in July 2014 for €800,000.

So City Hall is already ‘up’ c€600,000 or 78% as a business profit, even before the UCC Business School opens its doors at Lapps Quay.
