The Enterprise Building, constructed in 1980, was originally used by the IDA as an enterprise / industrial centre for small to medium size enterprises. Located at the Distillery Fields, North Mall, the building was purchased by UCC in 1998 and was initially used as a teaching school for nursing. Since 2004, it has been home to the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES) and Applied Psychology.
