In 2016 the DIT Design Build Student Competition brought
together multi-disciplinary teams of architects, technologists,
engineers and construction managers to work on a student
accommodation design challenge. The ARUP Trust supported
this innovative project which develops vital graduate attributes
of DIT students improving their ability to be creative, innovative
and collaborative when they enter the workforce.

Dr. Pat Quinn entrusts antique tools to DIT
Bolton Street Engineering graduate and long-time supporter
of DIT, Dr. Pat Quinn made a donation of his own collection of
antique wooden tools to the timber and woodwork students
in the School of Architecture at Linen Hall.
This donation is hugely
significant to our students who
will have the opportunity to gain
a practical appreciation of the
history of their craft. As a leading
educational institution in this
area we have a duty to play our
part in preserving the history of
our disciplines and we are truly
grateful to Pat for entrusting us
with these magnificent pieces of
history.
