The new library was opened jointly by Archbishop Noel Treanor, Apostolic Nuncio to the European Union and Sir Ian Greer, Vice Chancellor Queen's University Belfast.

The college also plans to transform the College Hall into a four-hundred-seater auditorium and other developments such as a a new Student Services Centre, refurbished teaching spaces, new IT labs and infrastructure upgrades.


The new developments were revealed 124 after the College celebrated the building of new foundations for the future of what is now St Mary's University College.

St Mary's Principal, Professor Peter Finn KSG said: "Our vision for campus modernisation is to provide students, staff, and visitors with top class facilities to enable excellence and dialogue to flourish and to facilitate educational, social, and economic progress.

"The student body is at the very heart of St Mary's and all that we do. We therefore aim to have the best possible campus facilities to attract students, retain them and provide high-quality certification that will facilitate personal fulfilment in both life and work, and prepare them well for contributing to the common good.

"Thank you to everyone for supporting and being part of our journey of campus transformation."
