    Does anyone know where I could get the dimensions/blueprints of the Western Gate Building?

    Planning a terrorist attack?:rolleyes:

    I'd imagine the buildings and estates office is your best bet - http://www.ucc.ie/en/build/ - bereception@ucc.ie they'll at least point you in the right direction.

    Thanks I sent an email off to them. Nope no terrorist attack, thinking of making a model of the building for a project I've to do.

    Where's the scaled map? Was walking around there today couldn't find one.

    there is one on each floor i think. By the entrance to the carpark. If your facing into the building its just there on the right iirc.

    I think it might be up on the sign, though if you google it you'd probably find the info!

    the last figure I heard was 120 million, but that was before the top two floors were being kitted out.

    are the top two floors being kitted out now? Do you know whats gonna be up there? I'd say it would seriously help the old sales if a few more offices opened up.

    My father said that the top floor/top two floors were either sold or being rented out to a private company.

    just the 3rd floor for the time being, far as I know. the cork cancer research group and some more medical people are moving in.

    there really seem to be less people in this building than I expected.

    funny you should say that cause when we started up i was given the figure of between 1500 and 2000 people at any one time. Now where that came from i have no idea because even pre flood i'd be surprised if it was even half that. Ah sure anyone is better then noone, medical people will have loads of money to spend :)
