New €55m Engineering Building

 The 14,000m2 building, consolidating the five engineering departments of Civil, Electronic, Industrial, Engineering Hydrology and Mechanical & Biomedical Engineering under one roof, will be the centrepiece of the University’s North Campus Development.  This is the largest capital project undertaken to date by the University and it is receiving significant government funding along with support from private donors and from funds generated by the University.  The building is due to be completed at the end of 2009.

NUI, Galway has engaged renowned architects, RMJM, designers of the award-winning Scottish Building in Edinburgh, for this project.  State-of-the-art undergraduate and postgraduate student facilities will include laboratories, project rooms, research space, computer suites, lecture theatres, classrooms and associated academic accommodation.

The benefits of a new Engineering Building at NUI, Galway include:

• Providing facilities of an international standard for learning and research
• Consolidating all engineering education and research activities into one building
• Allowing the Faculty to compete on level terms for the best students and academic staff
• Supporting the research and employment needs of industry including the construction, health, IT and electronic sectors, vital to major regional and national projects
• Providing resources to grow the increasing research output of the Faculty
• Contributing to government policy of doubling the output of engineering, science and technology postgraduates over the next 10 years.
