Covid-19 delays hit UCC’s studentbeds plans at Crow's Nest

Construction of new student accommodation, a health centre and a retail unit on the site of the former Crow's Nest bar, Victoria Cross, Cork.

PLANS by University College Cork (UCC) to substantially boost its student accommodation offering in time for the 2021/2022 academic year have been derailed by Covid-19 restrictions.

The delay means the university has missed the target date originally set to complete the 255-bed-space accommodation units at the site of the former Crow’s Nest public house and restaurant in Victoria Cross.
