Institute redevelopment to cost €200m and create 3,000 jobs

Three thousand jobs are to be created through the expansion of Limerick Institute of Technology as part of a €200m redevelopment.

The college wants to complete the project at its base in Moylish, and at the Limerick School of Art & Design in the city centre, over the next 20 years.

Yesterday, LIT president Maria Hinfelaar said: “It’s a very ambitious plan — it’s not as if we haven’t been developing for the past 20 years — but we need to prepare ourselves for the next 20 years.”
