Architects O’Donnell + Twomey are designing a brand new student building, as laid out in the University Strategic Plan, which aims to deliver “research-inspired teaching and learning with a world-class student experience”. The state-of-the-art “Hub Building” will have a major impact on student life in UCC.

The Student Hub will be a 5 story, technology-rich building for all students. The building will be a new home to Clubs, Societies, Student Media, the Students’ Union, UCC 98.3fm and all Student Activities.

The entire building will be open to students to use as study spaces, pop-up locations for events or whatever they can think of! A kitchenette will allow students bring in their own food and hot water points throughout the building mean students can get their all-important caffeine fix.

The new student building will have an entrance hall for large-scale exhibitions & events, an impressive stepped space for performances & guest speakers, a fully equipped radio station, an art / maker space and dedicated employability skills areas.
