An assessment team led by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) has been considering the applications to the Higher Education Strategic Infrastructure Fund, including the Maynooth University proposal in relation to the development of the Technology, Society and Innovation Building. The assessment process is now nearing completion and a decision in relation to the Maynooth University application will be communicated to the Institution in the near future.

In making decisions on projects to be funded, account will be taken of the balance of projects across the sector as a whole and the advancement of system-wide objectives.
