Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / August 3 2004: Work to begin soon on Cork School of Music

The Department of Education and Science has confirmed it will sign the contract shortly for the new €60 million Cork School of Music with British construction firm Jarvis Projects Ltd. The school was first promised by the Government five years ago. According to the Department spokesperson, a small number of issues remain to be finalised, but it is understood that construction - which has been sub-contracted by Jarvis to the Irish building firm Sisk - will begin in September and take two years to complete. Under the contract, Jarvis will equip and maintain the building for a period of 25 years at a cost to the Department of €8.2 million a year, after which it will revert to the State.
