Athlone I.T.

Athlone I.T. is one of the finest Institutes of Technology in the country.
A.I.T. 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.
