Located strategically between Galway City Centre and NUI Galway, this site provides the link from the city to both NUI Galway and University Hospital Galway.

The site has development potential to extend the public realm across the river creating further connections to the City. NUI Galway is looking to the lands in Nun's Island with a view to working in partnership with Galway City Council to develop and create a destination space within the City of Galway that will drive sustainable development, deliver employment and promote innovation and learning. Located strategically between Galway City Centre and NUI Galway, this site provides the link from the city to both NUI Galway and University Hospital Galway. The site has frontage onto the River Corrib and contains a number of canal waterways. The site has development potential to extend the public realm across the river creating further connections to the City. It is proposed to develop a cohesive and achievable regeneration proposal for the area to create vibrant space through the appropriate mix of public realm spaces and habitable development. Working in partnership with Galway City Council and interested stakeholders from within the community, it is proposed to establish a development proposal that will bring wide scale benefit to the city as whole. Realising this ambition will require a collaborative approach based on detailed engagement and long term thinking.
