Waterford IT sports campus to be completed this year thanks to Government loan

A long-delayed multi-million euro sports campus for Waterford Institute of Technology will be completed this year after the Government stepped in to loan the funds needed to finish the development.

WIT confirmed that a construction contract has been signed for completion of phase three of the Carriganore Sports Complex. Students attending WIT in September will be the first to use the facilities following the additional €5.2m investment.

The final cost of the third phase of the project is now due to come in at €13m, nearly €3m more than originally projected.
