Breaking: Magee University completes purchase of Foyle College lands allowing for future expansion

Ulster University has confirmed the purchase of Foyle College lands in Derry which will allow for future development of the Magee campus.

It was expected that Ulster University would buy lands at the Duncreggan Road site when Foyle College relocated to its £23.5m Limavady Road site last year, however, the deal has experienced delays.

In a statement to the Derry News today, an Ulster University spokesperson confirmed: “Ulster University has completed its purchase of the Foyle College lands, marking a milestone in the development and expansion opportunities for Magee campus.

“The purchase follows the opening last year of the £11m state-of-the-art teaching centre at the heart of the Magee campus, which has already enhanced the vibrancy of campus life and paved the way for enhanced future capacity at Magee."
