The University of Limerick is planning on opening a city centre campus by 2022.
The new development would bring in up to two thousand students and over 100 staff into the city.
UL is in discussions with Limerick City and Council to secure a site, with the Twenty Thirty site at the Opera Centre being the preferred location.
Dr Des Fitzgerald, UL President said: “We are still at an early stage but I am very happy to have the full support of the UL Governing Authority in our commitment to bring UL closer to the city centre."
"The UL City Campus will aim to bring together Law, Business, and Entrepreneurship in Technology and create a hub for developing and supporting enterprises in the city."
"It will allow for the further development of existing collaborations with the practitioner base in business, law, education, health and the growing number of technology companies.”
