Cathal Doherty, 25 Apr
PLASSEY Campus Centre (PCC), a subsidiary of the University of
Limerick, is seeking planning permission to transform a well-known
space in Castletroy into student accommodation.
The Park Point complex on the Dublin Road which currently is home to a
Travelodge hotel will potentially undergo a major transformation
subject to the planning process.
The proposed redevelopment would see floors six to nine above the
Travelodge turned into student accommodation.
The proposed development will also see an ancillary foyer developed at
ground level within the Park Point building. The space is currently
designated as office space.

It is understood that the re-development is a procedural change to
allow for more activity in the building.
UL purchased Park Point in 2016 for €4.1 million.
“UL has been and continues to be very active in seeking solutions to
the current shortage of student accommodation in Limerick,” a
spokesperson for the university said.
“UL continues to fully investigate all viable, cost-effective
opportunities to increase our student accommodation stock," they added.
UL is also currently running a media campaign to encourage landlords to
come forward with off-campus accommodation options.
