Campus Development Plan
The Office of the Chief Operations Officer is responsible for the primary management of the University's capital projects. Accordingly, this section of the University's website provides some background information on the major capital projects that are already underway, or are intended to be soon.
In April 2016 the University embarked upon an ambitious Campus Development Plan. Further information on that plan may be accessed at the link below.

As a public body in receipt of Exchequer funding the University is required to apply certain practices, procedures and guidelines, as set out by various Irish government departments, with regard to the management and control of its capital works projects.
To address these requirements the University's Executive adopted an initial Capital Works Framework in November 2015 and subsequently updated it, most recently in October 2022. The Framework sets out, at a high level, how the University's senior management seeks to exercise control and meet its oversight responsibilities for the the management of capital works that are either initiated by the University, or one of its wholly owned subsidiary companies.
Members of staff who wish to view the current Framework may access it the link below.
