Budget funding ‘a quantum leap’ for Waterford IT

WATERFORD Institute of Technology has welcomed its major cash injection, describing it as a ‘quantum leap’ in capital funding for the college.

Institute director Professor Kieran R Byrne says WIT has been given the go-ahead for four major projects as part of the Government’s €1.2 billion funding announced in the Budget last week.

A new engineering and science building, a new architecture building, and a business and enterprise building, are to be provided through public-private partnership funding.
