THE University of Limerick this week announced the launch of its new ‘Campus Holidays’ which has created 25 student jobs for the summer season.
The new venture marks an expansion for UL’s Campus Life Services, a subsidiary company that manages and develops the campus and its facilities for accommodation and events.
The new 25-person team will assist the company’s existing team of 30 in managing the campus, accommodation and facilities over the summer period, including looking after Campus Holidays guests.
Campus Holidays offers accommodation in UL’s residential villages and allows guests to avail of campus facilities such as the Arena sports centre and on-site concerts and events.
Linda Stevens, Campus Life Services director said: “We have world class facilities on campus at UL in terms of accommodation, activities, sports and culture.
“In order to ensure that those facilities are properly utilised, not just during term time, we have this year for the first time developed a dedicated accommodation package for the national and international leisure market.”
Campus Holidays already accommodated over 360 guests who visited the city for the recent Bruce Springsteen concert in Thomond Park.
The company also expects to cater for up to 1,000 guests from Canada, the UK and across Europe during this week’s Tailteann Nua Festival.
