“his will allow universities invest to ensure their capital stock is fit-for-purpose and to operate sustainably.
Adequate levels of maintenance are required across the third level sector to prevent deterioration of capital infrastructure and ensure that facilities remain up-to-date, fit for purpose and respond to climate objectives. This funding will allow third level institutes to do that.
