TWENTY years of community outreach benefiting thousands of Limerick families is being celebrated as the University of Limerick AccessCampus marked twenty years since it was opened in November 2003 by Mr Pat Cox, then President of the European Parliament.
In a unique partnership with Limerick Enterprise Development Partnership (LEDP) the core aim of the facility was to challenging educational disadvantage in areas of social and economic deprivation in Limerick city and its environs.
The AccessCampus is open 12 hours a day from Monday to Friday, and also opens for two local church groups at weekends.
The diversity of user groups and collaborations displays the breadth and strength of the interest in education across all generations and strata of the local communities.
A new Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Professor Kerstin Mey, UL President and Niall O’Callaghan, CEO of the LEDP, to formalise the ongoing collaboration between the two organisations for the operation of the AccessCampus for the next five years.
