Site Notice?

I was wandering idly back to my apartment earlier when I saw a site notice just outside car park 3 I think it is...it's dated 3rd sept 2010 and it says that area's gonna be turned into apartments and a retail area..? I thought there wasn't enough car parking space as it is?

I think it's the field at the back of that where the new apartments are going to be built, remember hearing that last year.

On a similar note, who exactly owns south campus? Does NUIM pay rent to St.Pats/the Church?

The south campus or most of it anyway belongs to St Pats and thus the Catholic Church. NUIM pay them rent for use of their buildings, don't think its a huge amount but they do pay them something. Not sure if this applies to all buildings or just to ones exclusively used by NUIM such as Riverstown, Rhetoric, Logic etc. This also prob just applies to the ooold buildings, like I reckon the library belongs to NUIM
