Athlone Institute Of Technology
Welcome
The Institute
Athlone Institute of Technology was established in 1970. The principal aim of the Institute is to provide education and training for the economic, technological, scientific, commercial, industrial, social and cultural development of the State, with particular reference to the midlands.
The main campus is situated approximately 1.5 miles from the town centre on the Dublin Road. The Institute has developed rapidly since its foundation and to facilitate this growth, the original building has been extended on several occasions within the 45-acre landscaped campus.
The main campus building currently houses the Schools of Business, Management and General Studies, Engineering and Science, the Library, the Information Technology Centre, the main student canteen facilities and the Institute's Administration offices.
The Institute also has a building on Northgate Street in the town centre which has been refurbished to cater for the Departments of Hotel, Catering and Tourism Studies, and Design.
Building is expected to commence on a Tourism/Hospitality Building and a new Student Services Complex in the near future.
The Institute has developed outreach centres in Cavan and Dublin and also has links with the Zambian Centre for Accountancy Studies (ZCAS), Lusaka, Zambia. International Links at AIT.
The Campus
A multipurpose hall, lecture theatres, a new library, an information technlogy centre and an administration block have been added in recent years.
A new student services centre is nearing completion and a catering and tourism block is about to commence.
The John Count McCormack Centre on the main campus is a multipurpose centre used as a sports complex, as a venue for student social events, and for large gatherings of the student body such as examinations, freshers' week exhibitions, registration and graduation.
1999 also saw the opening of 'Scribes' the Student Social Centre. On- and off-campus residences are currently in an advanced planning stage.
The Institute currently offers an extensive range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to 4,000 students, which has been a factor in attracting many industries to the town. It is an important contributor to the local economy and to the shaping of Athlone's future.
Institute graduates have been very successful in progressing to further studies and obtaining relevant employment.
