UCC hosts opening of new Hub building
The Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, who graduated from UCC in 1981, officially opened the state-of-the-art building on UCC's main campus on Friday 6 May where he spoke to a crowd gathered to celebrate the Hub's potential impact on future generations of UCC students.
The Hub is a renovation and extension of the 170 year old Windle building where generations of UCC medical students have been trained. The reimagined building houses many student services in one central location for the first time in UCC's history, and features a large event space, flexible learning spaces, versatile study spaces, meeting rooms, and a viewing window providing beautiful panoramic views across the university campus and Cork city.
On a tour of the building, the Taoiseach met with members of UCC clubs and societies, met the staff of the Roots Cafe which is supportd by the Cope Foundation, viewed the radio station and media centre and visited the Calm Zone, a new respite space for students which was fomerly the university bar. The crowd were also treated to a performance by Misneach, a hip hop performance group from the Kabin Studio youth centre in Hollyhill in Cork.

UCC President Professor John O’Halloran welcomed the Taoiseach’s visit to his alma mater and said “Our Hub is a beating heart of our campus. We are really happy to be finally officially opening this magnificent facility, and are delighted that an Taoiseach who is a proud UCC graduate cut the ribbon on a development that enhances our student experience by bringing services together under one roof”.
