This project involved the construction of a new Medical Education Facility at University Hospital Waterford. The new facility, which was jointly funded by the RCSI and the Health Services Executive (HSE), was designed to enhance the teaching of both undergraduate and postgraduate medical personnel in the south-east.

Opened by Minister Martin Cullen, Minister for Social and Family Affairs, the new Academic Teaching Centre provides state of the art facilities for RCSI undergraduate students attending their clinical rotations in Waterford. This impressive building includes a 204-seat lecture theatre, a large teaching/seminar room, tutorial and reading rooms for interactive teaching and other administrative and ancillary services.
