The spirit of the DIT community of academic and non-academic members of staff is something which defines the Institute and has been key to its successful development throughout its history. Circa 2,500 people are employed in DIT in many different roles. Although currently dispersed across so many locations around the city, there has been a concerted effort to develop a ‘One DIT’ approach to delivery of teaching and support to students. This is an important part of the planning process for the new campus where there will be even greater scope for collaboration between disciplines, creating synergies.
