Athlone Institute of Technology is in line for a multimillion-euro upgrade as part of its elevation to university status.
Longford developer and former Athlone IT graduate Mark Cunningham has lodged plans to construct a large-scale student campus as part of a development that is expected to exceed €100 million. The chartered engineer has applied to An Bord Pleanála through the State’s Strategic Housing Development to construct a 283-bed student campus, along with 127 residential houses and apartments at Lissywollen, Athlone, Co Westmeath.
Mr Cunningham said the mooted development was in keeping with local policy guidelines to construct a “student quarter” while promoting Athlone as an “international student destination”.The former AIT student spoke of his delight at being able to devise what promises to be one of the largest and most transformational projects for his former alma mater.
“As a past student of Athlone Regional Technical College , I’m delighted to have the opportunity to apply for permission to construct a purpose-built student campus which both reflects its new technological university status and also Athlone’s place as a regional growth centre in the National Planning Framework.”
Is he not still a graduate?
