Teaching Facilities
The medical school at UCC is extremely proud of its modern state of the art facilities. We believe that our physical environment is very important in teaching and learning. All of our buildings are new, well-designed and extremely pleasant places to learn and study in. Importantly, our facilities are only a few minutes walk from each other and from UCC main campus, with its wonderful mix of historic old buildings and stunning new architecture.
Brookfield Health Sciences Complex
Most of the early teaching takes place in the beautiful riverside Brookfield Health Sciences Complex, a new, purpose-built teaching facility with state-of-the-art lecture theatres, seminar and tutorial rooms, and clinical skills teaching rooms. Lectures, tutorials and clinical skills teaching take place here and the building has advanced simulation facilities (including an advanced Human Patient Simulator). The Clinical Skills Unit also has simulated hospital wards for clinical skills teaching and Patient Safety training. Brookfield Health Sciences Complex also has an excellent library and spacious study rooms.
Western Gateway Complex
This impressive new complex is located beside Brookfield Health Sciences Complex, linked to Brookfield by a footbridge over the river Lee. Physiology laboratories and Pharmacology are located here, along with the renowned FLAME Anatomy laboratory which attracts visitors from all over the world and is Ireland’s leading Anatomy laboratory.
