UCC at 180: Discover our Legacy Exhibition at the Boole Library
Taoiseach Micheál Martin opened the 180th anniversary exhibition, “Celebrating 180 Years: University College Cork in Society”, at the Boole Library. Running until March 2026, please come visit it on campus.
This exhibition showcases UCC’s enduring role as a place where ideas, people, and communities converge to shape the future. Highlights include:
- A historic timeline of key milestones in UCC’s journey since its foundation in 1845.
- An innovative ‘Map Wall’ illustrating the growth and expansion of our campus over 180 years.
- Commemorative poetry by acclaimed poets Thomas McCarthy (BA 1975) and Dairena Ní Chinnéide, whose works will become a permanent feature under the iconic Main Quadrangle arch.
