ATU (formerly GMIT)
Galway Campus is the largest of ATU's five campuses and is the administrative headquarters.
It is located on the Dublin Road in Galway City and overlooks Galway Bay.
The campus building is one of Galway City's iconic landmarks, due to the distinctive three sail-shaped copper panels at the front of the main building. This unique design helps identify the Institute as an innovator in modern technology, and also serves the practical purpose of housing the Library and IT Centre. A huge variety of courses are available in this campus - everything from business and science, to engineering and tourism.
We work very closely with ATU and offer great value rates to guests visiting the campus throughout the year.
