Cork University Business School is Ireland’s second-largest business school, serving more than 3,700 students and 180 staff. It holds AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS accreditation, placing it among fewer than 150 triple-accredited business schools globally. Despite this international standing, CUBS is the only university business school in Ireland without a dedicate purpose-built facility.

It is proposed to develop a site on Perrott’s Avenue which offers a new building of approximately 7,000m². Close to the O’Rahilly Building and the core campus, this facility will have enhanced research, postgraduate and staff space, along with collaborative and flexible learning spaces. In addition, there will be specialist laboratories with cutting-edge technology including a quantitative investment lab and a behavioural lab. All are essential requirements for a contemporary business school.  The new development will enable CUBS to further develop its recognised strengths and to expand its undergraduate, postgraduate and executive education offerings in the future. 

This ~€55m project is supported by €25m in secured HESIF funding.
