UCD to upgrade Belfield campus facilities
New plans to modernise and upgrade the UCD campus at Belfield were agreed by the college's governing authority yesterday. Outline proposals tabled by the UCD president, Dr Hugh Brady, make the case for a new science block and changes to the arts block. Dr Brady is also known to back plans for a more "imposing" entrance to the college at the Stillorgan dual carriageway. Dr Brady's plans to revamp the campus come after a period in which he has moved to radically change the university's structures. In the past year, UCD's academic structures have changed dramatically, with the number of departments and faculties halved.
