University Challenge: UCC's €450m investment to build for the future

University College Cork (UCC) is investing €450m in a series of ongoing capital projects including a major expansion of the Tyndall National Institute (TNI) to the North Mall, which will see a doubling of its activity and head count.

UCC and the Mercy University Hospital (MUH), who jointly acquired the North Mall Distillery Fields site in 2004, have co-commissioned consultants to prepare a site specific masterplan, which is nearing completion.
