• An Institute of Further Education that will replace the existing PLC College and Theatre
• Sports Hall – to be shared by all education users on the campus

Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) is the principal provider of third level education in the region. DkIT offers an extensive range of full and part time courses across four schools – Business & Humanities, Engineering, Informatics & Creative Arts and Health & Science. Many students also choose to study in other universities and colleges that are within a reasonable distance in locations such as Dublin, Belfast, Derry, Sligo, Letterkenny and Athlone.
