The European Investment Bank (EIB) is providing €76m ($88m) over an overall €150m to develop the campus at NUI Maynooth.

The funding, which will be met with €74m from the institution itself, will involve the construction of two new hubs, focused on ICT and education, as well as additional student housing. It is the first phase of an overall plan at Maynooth to increase the university’s student body from 10,500 to 13,000 by 2020.
