The construction of the award winning library building at Waterford Institute of Technology has recently been completed. This is the first part of the implementation of the institute's campus development plan.
The next phase of the institute's development plan is a catering and tourism building and an information technology building, both of which are major projects currently in architectural planning. The combined area of these developments is over 10,500mf7>2.
