Director’s Introduction

The University of Limerick has a proud tradition in presenting a beautiful campus with excellent facilities to the benefit of our students, staff faculty and the wider community.

The University has expanded steadily and now has embarked on strategies that will see a significant further increase in student and indeed staff and faculty population. This will require a commensurate increase in facilities and plans are being developed to meet this challenge.

In this report, you will find details of progress on major capital works including a new Student Centre and new Climbing Wall facility together with details of other works that have been either commenced or completed during the year along with details of planned works. The year saw the acquisition of the former Dunnes Stores in the city centre. This will form a major part of the physical development in the coming years. A draft plan for the Framework for Physical Development is nearing completion. This will form the basis of future development planning on the main campus. Exciting times ahead!

The Buildings and Estates Department team continue to contribute greatly to the overall maintenance and development of the campus, which is a very special environment and I would like to acknowledge and thank each of them for their continued hard work and dedication.
