Students have designs on Limerick City

STUDENTS with an eye for what Limerick could look like will hold a public exhibition of their work. 

As part of the Building Change initiative, University of Limerick School of Architecture and Product Design students will be showcasing their work at the UL city campus on Sarsfield Street and it will run until Thursday, June 6. 

The Design@UL exhibition features work from more than 80 final year students and postgraduate students. 

The Building Change initiative hopes to give students of architecture, product design, technology and design for health and wellbeing, the skills they need to tackle both housing and climate challenges.

Professor Merritt Bucholz, Head of the School of Architecture and Product Design, said: “The work of a School of Architecture and Product Design is the work of the students, as newcomers to the world of design, students’ work anticipates the future.

“This year the students’ work has been firmly focused on Limerick as a springboard for ideas that weave together the city region with models, prototypes, drawings, and products - a real future emerges at the Design@UL exhibition. We look forward to engaging in new conversations about that future with visitors to the exhibition."

The free exhibition will be open every day until June 6 (excluding Bank Holiday Monday,  June 3) from 9am until 5pm. There will be opportunities to discuss and share ideas behind the work with students and staff of University of Limerick.
