Completed Projects

The influence of philanthropy on University College Cork has had a significant impact on its growth and development. Continued support from philanthropic sources enables the University meet the demanding challenges of extending, upgrading and providing a campus and facilities to deliver a world class research-led teaching environment.

Philanthropy has supported, and continues to help, many student and teaching services. It enables the University to provide the facilities to deliver these services in a beautiful city-centre campus, one which is developing sensitively within its environment.
