A STUDENT housing scheme adjacent to the proposed new €106m Cork University Business School (CUBS) is one of the options being looked at for future development at a UCC-owned site in the city centre, which is set to become a new third-level hub, if cleared by city planners.

As images of what the new CUBS will look like emerge, documents lodged with Cork City Council show that some residual land to the east of the former Brooks Haughton builders’ providers site may be used for student accommodation down the line.
