The Minister for Further and Higher Education, James Lawless, has turned the sod to mark the commencement of construction on the new Library, IT and Education Building at Atlantic Technological University’s (ATU) Letterkenny campus. The building involves the delivery of a new build of approximately 5,100m2 and it will consist of a library and various learning resource spaces, general and specialised teaching spaces, ICT laboratories, administration space and ancillary space. The new build will cost in the region of €25 million.

In conjunction with decanted space elsewhere on campus, the new building will increase capacity of ATU at Letterkenny by circa 600 students. This project is expected to reach completion by quarter three of 2027. Read the full story here.
