Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) formerly Regional Technical College, Dundalk is a 90-acre (360,000 m) campus situated in Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland, halfway between Dublin and Belfast (each approximately 80 kilometres away). The campus is 800 metres from the main Dublin Belfast road and 3 minutes drive from the M1 motorway to Dublin. Dublin Airport is a 35 minute drive by car. Dundalk is served by the Dublin Belfast Train corridor and Dundalk's Clarke Station is approximately a 20 minute walk (or 6 euro taxi ride) from the campus. In 2002 DkIT took possession of the adjoining Carrolls Tobacco Factory. By 2005 partial development took place in the Carrolls site with Plumbing and Electrical Trades Workshops relocated there and the opening of a "Bright Room" digital media editing suite. Refurbishment of 11,500 sq metres of the Carrolls Building was completed by 2010, and the School of Informatics and Creative Arts, consisting of the Departments of Computing & Mathematics and Music & Creative Media, took up full-time residence there.
